Roman-Catholic #priest Johannes Laichner spreads incense among photographs of members of his congregation while leading mass during the coronavirus crisis in #Tyrol province, Austria. Laichner has received over 1,000 photographs and attaches them to the benches in his church. He records his daily mass on video, which he later uploads for his congregation to view via Internet. Current restrictions on public life imposed by authorities in Austria in an effort to stem the spread of the #coronavirus make gatherings like a church service temporarily illegal, so Laichner has come up with his online mass as a means to adhere to the law while still reaching his flock. | April 06, 2020 | šŸ“·: jh_pressphoto | #COVID-19 #GettyNews #GettyImages25 #CapturingThePresent #PreservingThePast⁠
