[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 665227, member: 25553"] In the 'off season' like now (October - Easter), the Botafumeiro is only used on the Catholic Holy Days and Solemnities listed above, in Iriebabel's post. At all other times, it is only used if someone or some group ponies up the @ € 400 to cover the costs of having it used. Note: With the exception of the wonderful nun who sings the hymn, all others involved in the ceremony are laypersons who must be paid. In this regards, it is not much different than having to hire pallbearers for a funeral. Also, each time the Botafumeiro is used, it must be cleaned properly and prepared for the next use. So, there is some significant effort and cost that goes into this ceremony. Hence the charges. Information to request to pay for having the Botafumeriro used is also above. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
