How animals are blessed in Belgium

Animal blessing ceremonies were held in Belgium during the celebration of Saint Hubert of Liege. Saint Hubert, Bishop of Maastricht and Liege, patronized hunters, and was also considered a defender of dogs and horses.

The pictures you will see were taken in the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul and near it in the commune of Saint-Hubert.
