Title:

Blessing of the animals on Olvera Street, Los Angeles (Calif.)

Through This Blessing…"--The Rev. Fidel Zapatero, OFM, jostled by eager throngs of children, oldsters and pets as he sprinkles them with holy water and pronounces the words of benediction in ceremony as colorful as Easter itself. The ritual takes place each year in front of Plaza Church as prelude to religious feast
