Father Pierre Hoan (R) pronounces a mass with three of his parishioners before boarding and blessing fields of the sixteen bell towers of his parish, Moissac, by plane, departing from Gandalou aerodrome, in Castelsarrasin, southern France, on May 21, 2022. - Dressed in his white alb, the parish priest of Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne) flies over the steeples of his parish in a small two-coloured plane, blessing the farmers' fields and livestock in the spirit of an age-old tradition that has practically disappeared for decades.
