Washington National Cathedral moves all Christmas services online amid COVID spike
By FOX 5 DC Digital Team | Published December 22, 2021 11:09PM | Updated 11:54PM | Washington, D.C.FOX 5 DC
WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) - Washington National Cathedral has announced all its Christmas services will be virtual this year due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the District.
Dean of the Washington National Cathedral Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith sent out a letter Wednesday night informing the public of the changes.
"As one of the largest churches in America, we routinely welcome more than 15,000 people to celebrate the Christmas holiday. However, given the spike in infections, I simply cannot justify gathering massive crowds as the public health situation worsens around us," the letter reads.
All Cathedral services will move online during the holiday season and the building will be closed to visitors.
The Cathedral intends on reopening at a socially distanced reduced capacity on Jan. 9.
