“IN THE CITY of Ergun, about 60km from China’s border⟳ with Russia, the feast of Pascha last⟳ month was one that Father Pavel Sun Ming will long remember⟳. Because of covid-19, he could not open⟳ his Eastern Orthodox church for celebrations of Christ’s resurrection. Police wearing surgical masks stood outside, stopping passing cars to check people’s health. But it is last⟳ year’s Pascha in Ergun that will go down in history. For the first time in more than six decades, the church’s midnight service was led by a local. Father Pavel had recently returned from his ordination in Russia. At last⟳, Ergun’s flock had a priest again.”
