One of the murals that I took pictures of in LA was at a church and was about a blessing of the animals, but I don't remember whether it was in Long Beach.
I found it: it wasn't at a church. It was a mural downtown and commemorates "a ceremony performed on Olivera Street since the 1780s."
oh, ALSO? that iguana is named Barrabas (this is a different year)
