It is soon Christmas time and many want to gather in the churches. But the message from both the government and the faith communities is clear: Now is the time to stay at home, services may be conducted digitally for the time being.


During the government's press conference, Archbishop Antje Jackelén, among others, talks about the Church of Sweden's digital activities during the holidays.

For those who lack Christmas music, the church is implementing its largest digital concert venture ever, which also includes music in the minority languages.

- Many will miss the Advent concerts, so it will be both traditional and newly written and is available on the Church of Sweden's website and youtube channel, she says.
