We went to the Pilgrim's Mass in the cathedral in Santiago. It was very full...we had to be there an hour early in order to get a seat.
We were fortunate enough to see the botafumeiro in action.
The botafumeiro was originally used to fumigate the sweaty, stinky, disease-ridden pilgrims. Some "modern" pilgrims could use some fumigation!! (bbs)
The guys in red are the botafumeiro swingers.
