The Archbishop of New Orleans and a rabbi took to the sky in a World War II-era plane Friday to bless the entire community as the coronavirus pandemic forced residents to remain isolated inside their homes for Passover and Easter.

Archbishop Gregory Aymond, 70, and 29-year-old Rabbi Lexi Erdheim flew in a 1943 Boeing PT-17 Stearman biplane on “spirit flights” that passed over Kenner, Gretna and the French Quarter, The Times-Picayune reported.

Aymond, who recently recovered from the virus, was the first to go up in the plane, once used to train WWII fighter pilots.

From the open-air cockpit, he prayed for protection and healing, and sprinkled holy water that came from the Jordan River, where Jesus was baptized.

"I prayed in a special way while I was asking God's blessings. I prayed in a special way for the health care professionals, for the first responders, for our government leaders who really are on the front lines, and they're risking their lives," Aymond told FOX8 New Orleans. "So we're very grateful to them."

Erdheim, of Congregation Gates of Prayer in Metairie, took off in the same plane later Friday to offer a Passover blessing.

People of all faiths kept on eye on the skies to catch a glimpse of the prayer flights.
