What's the name of the hymn?

Marabilloso, un simbolo da nosa terra!

Impresionante ver como se mueve

E vídeo está muy bien, aunque la imagen no puede captar la emoción que produce el botafumeiro "in situ".

incense is not a sacrament.

This is absolutely awesome! I wish we had one of these at my church. My priest would love the daylights out of it, having to use a shovel to apply the sacrament, as opposed to a spoon.

I´ve been there in june 2008. It´s a so moving place, specially when they say: THAT YOUR PRAY ASCENDS TO HEAVEN LIKE THE SMOKE OF THE BOTAFUMEIRO DOES ...

Thanks to the nun/sister for her brilliant voice, she uses to sing the rest of the ceremony a capella. And I´m wondering when can I go back to listen to her peaceful voice.

Greetings from Spain to everybody.... come and visit (our) holy places even if you are not very devote: it´s contagious !!

BUEN CAMINO
