A Catholic priest in the US is using a water pistol in a bid to maintain social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Photos posted on social media by St Ambrose Church in Detroit show Fr Tim Pelc shooting holy water into a car window as it stopped by the steps of the church.
He wore a mask, face shield and rubber gloves as further precautions against spreading coronavirus.
The photos of the priest at the church in Grosse Pointe Park have inspired memes online.
One shows the 70-year-old priest amid the fires of hell directing the water pistol at devil-like figures.
Fr Pelc told BuzzFeed News he was a little concerned about how the Vatican might react when the photos of him squirting holy water began circulating widely on the internet, but added: “I haven’t heard anything yet.”
