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.
Everywhere, people asked me and other photographers to have their picture taken. Many animals were dressed for the occasion. In some cases, this had an almost pathetic effect: there were old women with their dog dressed up like a baby, complete with hair decoration and necklace. They would cuddle their pet with affection. It was a very serious event, but I increasingly got a feeling of walking around in a movieset. People continued lining up to have their pet blessed, and I paid a short visit to the church of San Anton or Anthony the Great. It was his feast day (January 17), and he is the patron of animals and pets - hence the blessing on this day.
