The claim: An image shows a trucker prayer circle

Amid anti-vaccine mandate protests in Canada, an image purporting to show truckers praying and holding hands has surfaced on social media.

“Truckers gather to pray for guidance and protection,” reads text in a Feb. 16 Facebook post featuring the photo, which accumulated more than 1,900 shares in two days.

“I can’t recall (Black Lives Matter) doing this during any of their protests," the post's caption reads.
