Santiago Midday Mass Today (5th June)

[kelyjt]

Hi please can you confirm if the midday mass is being held in the cathedral today, 5th June 2022. I saw an article on a website that started it has moved to another chapel due to restoration works in the cathedral but I was not sure if it was an old article.
Please can someone also confirm the procedure for entry and the time and location we should arrive.

Thanks so much

According to the website, all is as usual, so yes, the mass will take place. I know nothing of procedure for entry, except walk in through the door...early, if you want to pray and/or be assured of a seat.

For anyone wishing to watch online, thanks to @Kathar1na I am currently viewing a live transmission of the Pentecost mass at 09.30 Santiago time

Just for your information: the kindly celebrant took the trouble to pray aloud in English as well as Spanish to assure pilgrims that not alone were thanksgiving prayers offered for safe caminos, but also for safe returns home.

edit: only for pilgrims, though, so do not get upset if you do not count yourself as a pilgrim!

It is held today Whitsun Sunday 5th June at the Cathedral. You read an outdated article. Solemn Mass has just started, earlier than usual, at 11:40, and the Botafumeiro swings also earlier, namely at the start of mass and not at the end as on ordinary days, so even before 12 o'clock today. Are you there? It's Whitsun.
