Botafumeiro

We are at the cathedral waiting for the pilgrim's mass to begin, and are lucky that the botafumeiro, the giant incense burner, is going to swing today, as it doesn't every day. According to legend, it was used to cover the odor of the masses of pilgrims, after their long journey. It takes 6 monks to hoist into the air, as it sways back and forth up to miles per hr. It has only fallen twice...
