A butcher shows some dried mutton for the 'Castradina', a dish made with dried mutton and cabbage typical of the traditional Festa della Salute on November 20, 2017 in Venice, Italy. The Festa della Salute is the least 'touristy' of the Venetian festivities and evokes strong religious feelings among the city's inhabitants. The holiday is in memory of a bout of pestilence, which lasted for two years from 1630-31, and the subsequent vow by the Doge to obtain the intercession of the Virgin Mary, even today, thousands of inhabitants visit the main altar of the imposing Salute Church on November 21 to give thanks, and a strong symbolic tie remains between the city and the Virgin Mary.

Black goats, also referred to as Syrian goats, graze near Moshav Nes Harim in central Israel's Judean foothills, eight kilometers west of Jerusalem on November 22, 2017. The Black goat, a type of goat limited since 1950 by law in Israel, is expected to prosper once again in the Jewish state after the Knesset was expected to begin a process to scrap the legislation, joining other countries in the region, such as Egypt and Libya, to reintroduce them. Though the original law restricted them to reduce harm to forests and woodlands, recent studies have shown that these goats can help reduce the risk of fire by eating dry, flammable bushes and shrubs.
