Now is the time. Go visit an airport. Forget St Pauls, Chartre or The Blue Mosque. Head for Heathrow or Charles de Gaulle. For the crowds have gone and you will be able to wander around those hallowed halls and marvel at the icons.
Visit the Check-In desk for the standard sermon (Did you pack these bags...)
Pass through Security Control ready to expose any hidden sins
Eat food tasting like it was prepared for the five thousand
Confess to Customs to pay penitence and seek absolution
Submit to Immigration at the pearly gates for the final reckoning
And stand before the Baggage Carousel as it promises deliverance.
Outside, in the distance, you will see the grounded Angels poised to take the blessed to their rightful destination.
Yes, this is a unique opportunity to wonder at a time when the world worshipped at the alter of international air travel. Do it now before the crowds return.
