RE: Anento, uno de los pueblos más bonitos de España // Anento, one of the most beautiful towns in Spain
What a magically beautiful little town. 🥰 I googled the saint the church is dedicated to and found something interesting: In Serbian folk tradition, the day of Saint Blaise is also known as a feast day for livestock. He was believed to be the protector of wild and domestic animals, so on this day farmers do not put their livestock to work, while shepherds celebrate so that wolves and diseases would stay away from their flocks. Maybe it is connected to that cute wooden deer sculpture.

I love hearing about that tradition, although I don’t think it has anything to do with the wooden deer because in Spain, Saint Blaise is considered the patron saint of… the throat! 🤣 He’s the patron saint of otolaryngologists. As for animals, here we have Saint Anthony, also known as Saint Anthony the Abbot.
