📸 Mexico City's Roman Catholic churches, including its main cathedral, began celebrating Mass again Sunday after three months of pandemic lockdown.
Most said they were just happy their churches were open again and felt it was important to take physical communion.
The clergy has been hard hit by the pandemic. According to a count by the Catholic Multimedia Center, 46 priests, six deacons and three nuns has died of COVID-19 as of July 15. While the capital's iconic cathedral lacked its habitual tourists on Sunday, it offered modern pandemic options like being able to give alms through a QR code that can be read by cellphones although nobody appeared to use it.
