After two and a half months of waiting, 83-year old Alba Fiore eagerly pulled down her mask to receive communion at a church in Rome Monday.

This was the first religious ceremony at the Church of Santa Maria in Traspontina, a stone's throw from the Vatican, since Italy went into lockdown."After two months without being able to attend a mass other than the one on television, it's a great day for me."

The faithful have been warned repeatedly that a failure to adhere to sanitary protocols could spark a second wave of the pandemic that has claimed around 32,000 lives, 120 priests among them. "After all that silence , which became almost a spiritual silence, one feels the need to take a breath", she added.

The church had been open to people wanting a quiet place to pray during the lockdown, but hardly anyone came."We hadn't seen anything like it, even in times of war!" he said.
