Critters and their people will gather to bask in sweet words of hope and joy; the event is"rain or shine."Blessing of the Animals at Olvera Street; the event, which always takes place on the Saturday before Easter, began at the Los Angeles landmark in 1930Free; the blessing line opens at 1 o'clock; enjoy live entertainment from noon to 4 p.m.
This kind-hearted camaraderie takes a quirkier twist at a special springtime event at Olvera Street, thanks to the furry fact that many people in line are holding turtles, rabbits, and dogs.The poignant pictures from years gone by tell the heartwarming story of this meaning-filled gathering: People arrive with birds, fish, and the occasional cow or llama, all to receive a benediction delivered by Archbishop Jose Gomez.
"While the blessing is rooted in Catholic tradition, you do not have to be Catholic to participate," reads a message on the event site."ALL PETS AND HUMANS ARE WELCOME!" As rainy as it is expected to be on March 30, 2024, a spirit of sunshine, light, and hope shall again pervade the touching, time-honored event. It's a moment of joyful words, community connections, and a few barks, moos, and bleats along the way.
