Jan 13, 2012: Japanese worship with their pets

When I was a kid, we went every year to the Portuguese blessing of the cows. They would wash the cows and decorate them with flowers. The congregation would gather around the cows in the plaza while the priest said a blessing and sprinkled the cows with Holy Water.
