Category: Covid Persecution

The COVID Persecution category examines the challenges Orthodox Christians faced during the COVID-19 era, particularly where public health policies, church closures, vaccine mandates, and government restrictions intersected with religious liberty and ecclesial life. These articles explore the effects of pandemic measures on worship, parish communities, pastoral leadership, conscience rights, and the relationship between Church and state. Through historical reflection, personal testimony, and Orthodox theological analysis, this collection considers the lessons of the pandemic and how the Church can faithfully respond to future crises while preserving both truth and freedom.
