Vessels blessed in annual Sea Sunday service

The annual Sea Sunday service in Lynn took place last weekend.

Held around the world, the event is a chance for Christian churches to reflect upon the work of seafarers and fishers, thank and pray for them and their vessels.

In Lynn, a procession of church officials and residents wound its way through North End, for many decades the town’s traditional fishing folk quarter.
