Messe des vendanges à la cathédrale de Nîmes

Bishop Nicolas Brouwet presided over the grape harvest Mass on Sunday morning at the Notre Dame and Saint Castor Cathedral in Nîmes. The celebration included songs and prayers in Provençal performed by various traditional art groups.

The bishop blessed the grapes, a grapevine stump, and a saladelle, which are three traditional symbols of the grape harvest.
