Christmas Day, masses and services are being held one after another in churches and churches across the country.
Earlier, at midnight, a mass was held by Archbishop Jeong Sun-taek at Myeongdong Cathedral.
Archbishop Jeong said in his Christmas message that the corona pandemic has brought about great changes in all areas of the world, and religion is no exception.
Yoido Full Gospel Church is planning to hold a Christmas service from 7 am to evening.
In accordance with the strengthened quarantine guidelines, the number of people who can attend religious events is limited.
If only those who have been vaccinated can attend, up to 70% of the total occupancy, and up to 30% of those who are not vaccinated.
