OLVERA STREET BLESSING OF THE ANIMALSThis traditional and popular event, sponsored by the merchants of very historic Olvera Street (The oldest surviving street in Los Angeles, dating from the days of Mexico's rule) is held every Easter Saturday. People from all over the area, especially nearby neighborhoods, bring their animals to be blessed by Cardinal Roger Mahoney and others. Since at the last one I saw several busloads of German tourists, I know that it is also a seasonal tourist attraction. In any case, seeing the street turn into a merry confusion of people and all kinds of animals, is a great deal of fun.
