The traditional family feasts are off, churches are closed and camping trips are a strict no-no. So how should we celebrate Easter when the coronavirus makes it impossible to catch up in person with loved ones who aren't in our household?

Families and friends are devising all sorts of original ways to make Easter a fun occasion – including camping in the backyard or lounge room, holding virtual Easter bonnet parades, and baking biscuits for neighbours.

For events planner Liliana Sanelli, who usually organises glittering major events, arranging an alternative Easter is simply a matter of creative thinking.

On Easter Sunday, she and husband Jeff, and their daughters, Saraya, 10, and Sapphire, 6, will gather as usual with her wider family for lunch – only this time it’ll be via Zoom. In the evening, they’ll enjoy a virtual dinner with Jeff’s Anglo-Indian family.
