Religious leaders are urging the faithful to recognise the joy in their lives this Christmas after a “harrowing” year marked by the coronavirus crisis.

“It’s been a year like no other. A year of anxieties. A year of isolation,” the Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher said. “In such dark times, celebrating Christmas can seem out of place.”
