Botafumeiro - Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela

  • Used originally to mask the smell of the pilgrims.  Now used to symbolize our prayers rising to the heights.

  1. Did you get blessed with this Botafumerio? I think that and the blessing of the bones of St. James the Apostle would be the best part of the trip, most certainly something to look forward to after all that trekking. Linda
