Blessing of the Fleet -
Following in an ancient tradition performed in fishing communities across the globe, residents of the Northern Neck performed their own Blessing of the Fleet ceremony in Reedville, VA marking the beginning of the fishing season on the Chesapeake Bay.
The event is sponsored by St. Mary's Episcopal church and Omega Protein, and rallies a large crowd of participants to help pray for a safe a bountiful fishing season.
