(17 Jan 2015) Pet owners gathered outside a Roman Catholic Church in Mexico City on Saturday to have their animals blessed in celebration of Saint Anthony, the patron saint of domestic animals.
Priest Francisco Raya Perez sprinkled Holy Water on the pets from the steps of San Fernando Church.
"For them to receive the blessing of God, like we do as people, it's a very good thing," Perez said.
The tradition is celebrated in Spain and many Latin American countries with predominantly Catholic populations.
