Description
Every dog has his day, and during the feast of San Anton in Spain, thousands of furry friends get their moment in the sun.
Many Catholic churches in Spain honor San Anton (St. Antonio Abad), the patron saint of animals, with a feast on Jan. 17.
During the celebration, people flock to churches so their animals can receive a special blessing. Attendees bring everything from house pets to work or farm animals so priests can perform a special prayer on them using holy water.
