Botafumeiro in the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral

Upon arriving in Santiago de Compostela, I entered the Cathedral and took time to sit in the front row off to the side. This is our “regular” spot in our church back home since my wife is a keyboardist and it is closest to the organ.

An hour or prayer and meditation slipped by and mass started. This is what I experienced.

Botafumeiro is a famous thurible found in the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral
