A FARM UNDER HEAVEN IN ST. PETER'S SQUARE
Vatican City, 15 January 2013 (VIS) – Thursday, 17 January?in
celebration of the Feast of St. Anthony Abbot, patron and protector of
animals?the Italian Association of Livestock Farmers (AIA) will hold its
traditional exhibition of farm animals,
"A Farm under Heaven", in front of St. Peter's Square.
The day will officially begin with Mass for the farmers and their families to
be celebrated in the Vatican Basilica at 10:30 a.m., presided by Cardinal
Angelo Comastri, vicar general of His Holiness for Vatican City. This will be
followed by the solemn
blessing of a procession of horses and riders along Via della Conciliazione.
Even from 9:00 a.m. on, however, in the Pio XII Square directly in front of
the Bernini colonnade around St. Peter's Square, there will be an exhibit of
the national
agriculture and livestock association's production including cows, goats,
sheep, chickens, and more.
Just as in past years, pet owners are invited to bring their cats and dogs for
a free check-up from veterinarians provided by the association.
The tradition of celebrating St. Anthony Abbot's feastday, deeply rooted in
the farming community, is very widespread in all of the Italian agricultural
communities. In the words of the president of AIA, Nino Andena, "it is a
moment of celebration that
we want to share with others in order to testify to the active role of farmers
and ranchers within society."
