As Holy Week approaches, it’s essential to consider ways to observe this sacred time in a safe and peaceful manner.
Avoid large crowds
While the pandemic might seem to be over, COVID is still there. To minimize the risk of exposure to COVID-19, it is advisable to avoid large crowds whenever possible. If you are considering dining outdoors, opting for a private family gathering instead of a large group is better. To further promote safety, consider cooking your meals at home or ordering food for delivery. This is already becoming the new norm in our current situation anyway.
Book ahead of time
To secure your preferred hotel accommodations, booking in advance and planning ahead is recommended. Remember that you are not the only one planning an out-of-town vacation. So making reservations early is best to avoid last-minute hassles.
Charge your electronics
It is essential to ensure keep your electronics fully charged, especially during Holy Week. Unexpected power interruptions or important news may arise. In case of an emergency or sudden news updates, fully charging your electronics can enable you to stay connected and updated with the outside world. Also, keep backup power sources, such as portable chargers or power banks, readily available. This will ensure uninterrupted access to your devices in case of extended power outages.
Take some time off to reflect
During Holy Week, it’s crucial to prioritize spiritual health and overall well-being. One way to do this is by reducing the use of electronics, such as smartphones. Focus more on spending quality time with loved ones. Additionally, taking time off work and avoiding work-related tasks can promote work-life balance. It will also allow individuals to fully immerse themselves in rest and reflection. This can enable individuals to feel the presence of the Lord and connect with their faith more profoundly.
Enjoy
