This censer is about 1.50 metres in length and weighs 53kg and one of the most striking rituals at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. It takes eight men, known as ‘tiraboleiros’, to set the Botafumeiro in motion and make it swing dramatically over the nave of the Cathedral 20 metres high, while releasing its fragrant incense smoke. | Catholic For Life | Facebook
