SARS sacraments
: The Catholic church in Toronto is changing procedures for Easter communion because of SARS:
Catholics taking communion will not be given sacramental wine from a shared chalice, and communion wafers will be placed in the parishioner’s hand, not on their tongue. Worshippers are asked to bow to each other rather than shake hands during the “salutation of peace,” and to bow or cross themselves before the crucifix on Good Friday, instead of the traditional practice of kissing it.
