Edition 2025 — Blessing of the Animals

In January 2025, Arzignano also celebrated the traditional Blessing of Domestic Animals in front of the Teatro Mattarello. Many families with their dogs, cats, and four-legged friends participated in the ceremony, warmed by hot chocolate offered to all, with proceeds from donations going to support animals in need.

The 2025 edition of the Blessing of the Animals in Arzignano confirmed the success of a deeply felt tradition: in the city center, in front of the Teatro Mattarello, owners and animals gathered for the blessing ceremony linked to the feast day of Saint Anthony Abbot.

The event, promoted by Pro Loco di Arzignano APS with the Municipality and animal welfare organizations, combined a religious moment, conviviality, and solidarity, with hot chocolate offered to attendees.

Programme

Afternoon ceremony for the blessing of domestic animals in Piazzale Mattarello, with hot chocolate offered and a collection of donations for animals in need.
