Foreword:


Greetings! We are China Christian Daily, the first comprehensive English Christian news website about the church in China. 

Easter, which fell on this month, is the most important festival for Christians across the globe, but churches had to mark Easter "online" instead of gathering together due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The church in China explored different ways “in the cloud” to celebrate the Lord's resurrection such as taking turns reading the Bible, online choral singing, dances, and sending God's word via “virtual” red envelopes online. 
 
You can also read trending news as well as features about Life. Church's online platforms for streaming worship services, and the impact of  COVID-19 on the Chinese church.
