Maybe all passenger plane flights now would benefit from a blessing by clergy along with instructions on the masks and other items.
I was told once the Cape Cod fishing boat crews were given a ceremony at the start of the season. Storms and accidents still happen in the Atlantic. Not sure if they still do that blessing ceremony anywhere.
Wikipedia excerpt.
The “Blessing of the Fleet” is a centuries-old tradition, often involving a clergyman blessing vessels like ships, fishing boats, or even recreational boats, to safeguard their crews and ensure a successful and safe journey or season. A way of publicly acknowledging a higher power and seeking blessings for those who work at sea.
I went to a bike blessing once back in the early 80s. I think it was billed as the “First Annual West Coast Bike Blessing.” I have some interesting photographs from that event. Lots of now extremely vintage hardware, but back then they were just old bikes. Not sure if the tradition was carried on or not.
They do a blessing of the fleet every year in New Bedford. But also in ports up and down the New England coast. I’m sure they do one on the Cape, but it’s more places like New Bedford, Gloucester, Portsmouth and Portland where the fleets of fishing boats are pretty large.
