1. Connect With Your Loved Ones

Easter and the Passover may be that time of year when you go back home and spend time with your parents, siblings, relatives and close friends. That may not be physically possible this year but thankfully technology can help a little. When it's time for your grand lunch or dinner, use video conferencing to set up a call with the entire family where you can catch up together.

2. Attend A Service

As attending mass in church is not an option, multiple churches are live streaming their services online. The festival will feel complete with it and all you will have to do is log in during Holy Week.

3. Take A Family Portrait

Dress the family in their Sunday best and take an Easter picture to share your greetings on the celebratory day with the entire family.
