January 17 Fiesta of San Antón in Mazarrón and Puerto de Mazarrón

The traditional blessing of pets is held in Mazarrón on 17^th January

January 17 Fiesta of San Antón in Mazarrón and Puerto de Mazarrón All over Spain the Saint’s Day of San Anton Abad or San Antonio Abad (Anthony the Great in English) is celebrated every January with a series of apparently bizarre scenes in which parish priests are called upon to bless pet animals, from dogs and cats to goldfish, sheep and all kinds of odd companions.

This is because Anthony, whose feast day falls on January 17, is the patron saint of a startling variety of aspects of life including not only animals but also skin diseases, farmers, butchers, basket makers, brush-makers and gravediggers!

Among the places where the day is a special one is Mazarrón, where on Saturday 17^th January the traditional Blessed Rolls of San Antón will be distributed and eaten at the church of La Purísima between 10.00 and 13.00, while the blessing of animals begins at 12.00.

Bring along your furry friend and have him or her blessed by the patron saint at the door of the church!

Additionally, a similar ceremony will be held at the small chapel of San Isidro in Puerto de Mazarrón at 17.30 on the same day - this is located in the centre of the district (click for map).
