The Patriarchal Auxiliary Bishop Varlaam of Ploiești drove the holy relics of Saint Demetrios the New around the streets of Bucharest in a procession of cars on Sunday, as the country fights to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

The cars made stops in front of two main hospitals where Covid-19 patients are treated.
