Thurible - Definition and Overview |
|
|
In the Roman Catholic church a thurible is a metal censer, suspended from chains, in which incense is burned during Solemn Mass, Benediction, Vespers and funeral services. Other churches, such as Anglican, also make use of them. The altar server who carries the thurible is called the thurifer.
A famous thurible is the huge Botafumeiro in Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
