While walking in the Chueca district in Madrid, I stumbled on a line of people with animals; they were waiting for their animals to be blessed by a priest.
The priest was blessing the animals, and as each person lifted his dog and he stepped forward to bless them, the line moved forward. People still in the queue were looking forward in anticipation to the people ahead of them, looking forward to have their animal blessed. Meanwhile, they were proudly displaying their animals to the audience and to other people who already had a blessed animal. Almost all animals were dogs, but I also saw some cats, while I understood that during the day, there had also been people with turtles, parrots and a falcon owned by the Spanish king.
