With many countries currently on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, life as we all know it has changed.

But there are some still trying to bring a sense of normality to the masses in these uncertain and scary times.

As we are not able to leave our homes, except to shop or go to work if you are a key worker, some have taken to social media to livestream activities such as school and church.

Most recently a priest in Italy has gone viral, after he attempted to conduct a service online, but ended up suffering some technical difficulties.

The unidentified man accidentally turned on video filters during his livestream, giving everyone watching at home some much needed amusement.

Standing beside a giant cross and an altar, dressed in his robes, he begins conducting his service.

As he does so, animated glitter can be seen falling down the screen.

This then abruptly changes and he appears to have some kind of space helmet over his head.

Several more filters are seen during the clip, including weights and flowers.

The whole thing ends with a dark hat and glasses filter.

A Twitter user named Gavin Shoebridge spotted the entertaining clip and shared it on his profile.

He wrote: "In Italy today, a priest decided to live-stream a mass due to COVID-19. Unfortunately he activated the video filters by mistake."

The video has amassed over 31,000 likes so far, with many taking the time to comment.

One person replied: "I love this so much. I’m not a churchgoer, but I appreciate the effort they’re making for their congregation, despite the fact that they might be technically challenged."

Another said: "Technical difficulties won't stop him. He's on a mission from God."

A third added: "I woke up my wife to watch this, she has had to blow her nose twice from laughing so hard... My throat hurts so much. I can't go into our bedroom, I am still giggling and am afraid to wake up our 5 week old son."

"Lord, forgive me for laughing," proclaimed someone else.

A different user tweeted: "Laughter is the best medicine. Omg. So funny!!"
