I saw a post on the APOC Facebook page that says the Botafumeiro is closed during 2018 for repairs. I searched this forum and saw an article from November 2017, but only that one and nothing more recent. I checked the Cathedral's website and there is nothing about repairs on the Botafumeiro page. If anyone knows the details, please share. I will be there in October and although I have seen it before, would be blessed to see it again. Thanks for any information.
I contacted the Cathedral just 2 days ago about the botafumeiro. I saw online it is only used about 10 Holy Days a year now and that’s it, unless a group or someone makes a donation for is to be used. I asked them specifically about May 17 or 18. And they did not indicate the Cathedral would be closed, but I fact I could make a donation for it to be used on one or f those days. If you look online you can find the days listed that it is scheduled to be used. I’m going to miss it by about 5 Days....I think May 23 it is scheduled.I saw a post on the APOC Facebook page that says the Botafumeiro is closed during 2018 for repairs.

. No one in Spain ever knows when any maintenance will be completed on anything.
It is down for repairs at the moment. No one in Spain ever knows when any maintenance will be completed on anything. You can watch the altar on a webcam. One day it will swing, and you will know maintenance is done (unless the webcam is down for maintenance).

If you go to catedraldesantiago.es, at the top of the page it says Cathedral, culture, visits, liturgy, etc. Go to Liturgy. A list will drop down. At the bottom where it says Botafumeiro. Click that. The page tells you all about the Botafumeiro and has a list of 11 Solemn Feasts when it is used.
Noon.when the pilgrim mass takes place.

Arrived in Santiago yesterday and went to the Pilgrim mass at noon today, Sunday, May 13th. The Botafumeiro swung, the choir sang, and tears ran down my face. It seems the Borafumeiro has swung for at least the last 10 days—perhaps in conjunction with the ascension festivities.Noon.
Some people say that’s not certain yet.@Michele Nickrent , your post made my day!! We'll be in Santiago on All Saints, 1 November, so we'll get to see the Botafumeiro!
Thank you!!

Noon.
Heard today from my son in Santiago that the cathedral is closing at the end of 2018 and will remain closed for 2019 and most of 2020. Anybody else heard this
We finished our Camino Frances 2 weeks ago and we were blessed to see the Botafumeira twice during pilgrim mass at the Cathedral in Santiago.I saw a post on the APOC Facebook page that says the Botafumeiro is closed during 2018 for repairs.

It will operate on that day. It is one of the few days that you can say for certain that it will. (I've copied the list below from the Cathedral website). The website does not specify which mass on those days will have the botafumeiro. I don't know if that means it will operate on all masses on those days or if people are supposed to know which is most important and will have it. Perhaps another member of the forum knows.Hi, does anybody know for certain whether the Botafumeiro will operate on this year's Immaculate Conception day (8 Dec 2018)? If so, on which Mass? Thanks a lot
