*laughs in spanish*

 My family is from Honduras and keeps it close to home too. My parents receive a lot of their information in Spanish and also like jokes in Spanish too! My mother, Digna, likes to show me memes in Spanish because I also relate to them as she does. We are Roman Catholic and our faith is very important to us. At the start of the pandemic, we didn't realize that Covid would take away a celebration that we celebrate each year and that was Holy Week. the church that we attend in Bowling Green, Ky has a huge Hispanic population and we hold holy week events with some ceremonies that are practiced in Latin American countries. We could no longer congregate like we normally do because it is not physically possible to social distance with the number of people that attend so everything was done via live stream. My mom showed me a meme in Spanish that accurately described our feeling.

Translation: When they tell you you can die from the coronavirus vs. when they tell you, you cannot have holy week ceremonies or celebrations because of the coronavirus.
