I saw a video of a priest concelebrating the Mass pull out a cell phone to photograph the swinging Botafumeiro from the alter.
I've been watching the live broadcast of the pilgrim mass at the Cathedral numerous times this year and I had never noticed this.
Today, out of curiosity, I switched on the live broadcast of the pilgrim mass at noon. The Botafumeiro swung because it had been sponsored by a group from Malaga if I had understood the announcement correctly. At this mass, there was a large number of concelebrants in their red and white robes participating in the celebration of the mass, about a dozen priests or so, from towns in Spain and from abroad, as announced at the beginning of mass.
And indeed, but very discreetly, at least one of them videoed the whole 2 to 3 minutes of the swinging of the Botafumeiro from his privileged viewpoint in the altar space - he held his smartphone at a certain angle with both hands in front of him, not high up in the air, and folded the cover at the end and then put it away - and another one, also very discreetly, half turned around for a short moment, held up his smartphone and took a selfie of himself and of the swinging Botafumeiro plus I guess of the people sitting in the front pews as background.
It is a modern Church, after all, at least in large parts ...
