Russian Church in Washington cancels two Christmas services after protests

Washington, Jan 7 (Sputnik) The only Russian Orthodox church in Washington, DC had to cancel two Christmas services Wednesday night due to the curfew imposed by local authorities after violent protests in the US Capitol, the rector of the St. John the Baptist Cathedral archpriest Victor Potapov said.
Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a 12-hour curfew from 6 pm Wednesday night.
"Russian Orthodox Church celebrates the Nativity of Christ on January 7, and we planned to serve the Vigil in the evening, and three Divine Liturgies – one at night and two other in the morning, as we usually do with all COVID-19-related precautions. Unfortunately, with a heavy heart I had to cancel two first services," father Victor said.
