Orlando Woman anoints plane with holy water before takeoff amid recent crashes.
A woman in Orlando, Florida, took a unique approach to air travel by anointing a plane with holy water before stepping on board. The moment, captured on video and shared on TikTok on February 15, has since gone viral.
The footage, originally posted by Desiree Salter, shows her making the sign of the cross on the exterior of the aircraft while saying a heartfelt prayer. “In Jesus’ name, we pray… Amen!” she can be heard saying as she completes the blessing.
Salter’s video has resonated deeply with TikTok users, racking up over 5 million views. Many viewers applauded her act, calling it a powerful way to seek protection before flying—especially in light of recent aviation incidents in the U.S. and Canada that have raised concerns among travelers.
The comment section quickly filled with support. Some users said her prayer gave them comfort, while others shared their own pre-flight rituals.
“We shall continue to live and not d!e!” one person wrote, echoing a sentiment of faith and reassurance.
The video continues to spark discussions online, with many agreeing that a little extra faith never hurts when stepping onto a plane.
