The Law is the Law - Vatican Air bans Holy Water
Modern world sometimes create strange collisions of facts… You probably heard of Mistral Air starting to operate flights on behalf of the Holly Seat, offering pilgrims with low-cost flights to Catholic shrines. The planes are specially decorated, and have been paint with Vatican colors.
The first flight took place on monday, and on the flight home, the pilgrims / passengers have been affected by the (not so) new safety regulations about liquids on board. You know, the rule that says liquids must be within containers of less than 100 milliliters, in separate plastic bags, and so on… So when the pilgrims arrived at the safety checkpoint, the officers had to confiscate many bottles of Holy Water that the passengers bought in the Lourdes shrine… Dangerous Holy Water…
One good point to the airline though, they distributed a bottle of Holy Water in the shape of Virgin Mary to each and every passenger after boarding. No doubt this ones went through extensive security checks…
