Pet owners brought their animals to church for an annual blessing in Manila, the capital of the Philippines on Sunday. A priest would bless the pets with holy water in the ceremony. The blessing took place at the time of the Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, known for his love for animals. Similar traditions are also celebrated in Spain and many Latin American countries with predominantly Catholic populations.
