Witness a ceremony that dates back hundreds of years as those that take to the sea, in commercial and pleasure craft alike, receive a blessing from the Bishop of the Diocese of St. Augustine. The event draws thousands on Palm Sunday to watch as watercraft from trawlers and yachts to sailboats and motor craft; all decorated with flags and bunting, receive this special blessing. The ceremony begins at noon with a procession from the Cathedral Basilica to the St. Augustine Municipal Marina. Call 904.829.2992 for more information. Sydney Sweeney fucking
