Animals blessing in Santo António Mixões da Serra
Sunday before the 13th of June | One of the most picturesque demonstrations of faith and beauty you can assist. Outside the church of Santo António Mixões da Serra animals of various races (cows, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, etc.) and their owners gather to assist the mass. At the end of the Eucharist the parish’s priest, sprinkling holy water, prays to God and Saint António for the protection of the animals.
