Catholics, Jews and Muslims gather at the Huntington Beach Pier to offer brief prayers. After a bowl of holy water is poured into the ocean, some grab their boards and hit the waves.

Blessing
Father Christian Mondor, left, of Sts. Simon and Jude Catholic Church in Huntington Beach and Father Matt Munoz of St. Irenaeus Catholic Church in Cypress took long stems of rosemary, dipped them in a large wooden bowl filled with holy water and sprinkled the crowd. After the service, Mondor went body surfing and Munoz rode a long board.
