Today's mass at St James

03/05/2022

Today is appropriately the feast of St James. I placed our prayers at the tomb of St James after Mass. There was a special mass at high noon for all the pilgrims where the Botafumeiro was swung. This is a very special rare occasion. I have a long video that will follow as well and here is a website for your enlightenment.

The Botafumeiro (Galician for 'smoke expeller')[1] is a famous thurible in the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral. In the past, similar devices were used in large churches in Galicia; one is still used in the Tui Cathedral. Incense is burned in this swinging metal container, or censer.

This is a special mass that was given with all special intentions. All of our prayers or in an envelope on the altar in candles or lit for them all.

May 1st which is 30 days after my start of the 1,000 km journey to Santiago with all your prayers. There are much more photos and videos that I just cannot upload on Facebook but I hope to share them on a website when I return in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, thank you for all your prayers and support. It is a privilege to be able to bring your special intentions with me. There will be a couple of other postings following the mass with your prayers and the drop off at St James tomb.
