Pets’ blessing
================================================================================

The San Anton’s celebration pets' blessing will take place on next January 17
at 12.15 p.m. before the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Church.

For this reason, the Zoa Street –between Ulpiano and Pedro Lorca’s- will be
blocked from 12 p.m. onwards to receive all animals to be blessed.
The Torrevieja’s Dioceses Archpriest and Priest of the Sagrado Corazón de
Jesús Church, Ginés Ortiz, will be in charge of blessing every pet which come
accompanied by his/her owner. This historical Fiesta still preserves nowadays
the original pet’s blessing tradition celebrated on the San Antonio Abad
saint’s day.
