Last Sunday, my friend Diane and I went to the "Blessing of the Animals" service at St. John the Divine Cathedral (an amazing multi-faith cathedral).
This is a day to honor St. Francis of Assisi and to illustrate the bond between animals & humans.
The animals that were blessed included a yak, tortoise, red fox, rabbits, camel, reindeer, and many more. They were brought in from upstate NY and many shelters across NYC.
Hundreds of people brought their dogs and cats to be blessed. There were groups of dancers and musicians performing as well. It was beyond beautiful.
