CWN Editor's Note: The Nicaraguan regime has again restricted Holy Week processions, the Vatican newspaper reported.
“For the third consecutive year, Daniel Ortega’s government has banned Holy Week processions in the streets of Nicaragua, imposing severe restrictions on religious celebrations,” according to L’Osservatore Romano. “This measure affects traditional rites—such as the Via Crucis—confining them to the interior spaces of churches. The few activities that are permitted take place under strict police supervision, with officers stationed at places of worship.”
