Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Liturgical Awesomeness
I love the look on Benedict's face.
If anyone ever asks you why the Catholic Church is not only the true religion, but the best one, you can say 'Because we've got Botafumiero.'
If they ask you why we have a five-foot tall thurible, you can say, 'Because it's so cool!... duh!'
But I have always sort of wondered how come they've never decaptitated any pilgrims with that thing.

I like the story of how it once went flying out the window...

I noticed that the Holy Father didn't put very much incense in. I think when they use it regularly, they really load it on. I've seen video of that thing swinging down the length of the nave like a giant ball of smoke. Really pumping it out.

Just as well The Vatican doesn't believe in Elf n Safety
