Churches across Canada defied public health orders so congregants could meet over the weekend and observe Easter.
Church doors were opened as part of Liberty Coalition Canada’s “We Will Gather” initiative, which encouraged churches to worship on Good Friday and Easter Sunday without government-imposed restrictions that “violate personal conscience, the nature of worship, or the ability for people to participate.”
