Pet owners dressed their dogs up in their Sunday best and brought them to Monimbo church, located about 20 miles south pf Nicaragua's capital Managua on Sunday for a special annual mass dedicated to Saint Lazarus. Pooches wearing an assortment of hats, football shirts and costumes were thrust before the statue of the saint to give thanks and ask for healing. The tradition is inspired by a passage in the Bible detailing how dogs licked the sores of Lazarus, who in turn helped them.
