A person holds a turtle after it was blessed during the annual Blessing of the Animals ceremony, presided over by Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, on April 16, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. Angelenos brought dogs, cats, birds, goats, snakes and other animals to the event which is normally held the day before Easter. The tradition dates back to 1930 in Los Angeles and was not held in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
