Parish priest Father Maurizio De Sanctis (known as Padre Nike) hugs his dog Miska after the evening mass dedicated to Sant'Antonio in the Catholic church of Santa Rosa on January 17, 2021 in Livorno, Italy. Usually every year on this day many churches in Italy celebrate a mass, open to animals, in honour of Saint Anthony, the 4th century Egyptian hermit, patron Saint of animals. This year, due to the pandemic and the new restrictions in areas of Italy, the masses have proved more difficult. (Photo by Laura Lezza/Getty Images)
