Youths carry their dogs to be blessed by Saint Lazarus, in Monimbo neighbourhood in Masaya, about 35 km south of Managua, on March 21, 2021. According to tradition in Nicaragua, faithfuls ask Saint Lazarus for the health of their dogs and pay these favours back by bringing their pets dressed in costumes to attend mass in honour of the saint.
