    rabtacoma reacted to Bala's post in the thread Botafumerio out of service with Like Like.
    It's hardly private. Anyone who has seen the botafumerio at any time other than the 10 or so specific days listed on the Cathedral website has seen it because some one or some group has paid for it. Mass is open to anyone who arrives on time to...

    I posted this so pilgrims would know the botafumerio would not be used in the Mass for at least through the month of May and they could perhaps adjust their plans if they were hoping to extend their stay to experience it.

    It takes 8 people to swing it (not saying they're paid but that doesn't mean it should be free). Then you have the cost of maintenance, cleaning, coals/incense, insurance, and if it generates a bit of income so be it. I've heard people getting...

    I requested a Mass to be offered with the botafumerio from the Cathederal for May 27th. Here is the update from the Cathederal: “We are contacting you to inform you that unfortunately the botafumeiro service will not be re-established for the...

    Thank you JoEllen. We will be on the lookout for a taxi. We are not spending the night in AGuardia but moving on to Oia. FYI- I did email the AG visitors office and received this response: We are sorry to inform you that El Monte does not have...

    We would like to go up to Monte Santa Tregla to see the archiological site, church and view but I do not want to add the 7.2 rt KM to our day (and especially walk the downhill). Does anyone have experience with taxi's from the Cultural Center...

    On the rare occasions when I have had to email I have usually attached a translation of my message from Google Translate or similar. Keeping it short and to the point minimises the chance of misunderstanding.

    rabtacoma replied to the thread Queues at the Cathedral?.
    FYI - The botafumerio is out for repairs. When I inquired last week about the date of May 27 to the cathederal below is there response. As most go to see the botafumerio, when there is no chance of seeing it I imagine seating is not an issue...
