BALTIMORE, MD — Christmas is typically one of the busiest times of the year for churches, but this holiday season looks quite a bit different due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore, services have been held safely since June and also streamed online. But for Christmas, much larger crowds are expected.

At St. Mary Anne’s Episcopal Church in North East, more than 75 families took part in a drive-through communion on Christmas Eve.
