Father Pierre Hoan prepares for takeoff to bless fields of the sixteen bell towers of his parish, Moissac 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.
