Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and while we cannot attend services in person, we have a most unique and wonderful opportunity to watch celebrations around the world right from our homes.
Below is a list of sites you can visit to watch this beautiful sacrament on our highest holiday in a variety of languages. It’s a wonderful way to expose children to all different countries and languages while remembering we have something very special in common.
Happy Easter to you and your family,
