New Censer given in Bill's memory
One of Bill's most loved duties when serving at the altar was to carry and swing the censer on high feast days. He often mentioned that it was looking pretty ragged and that the lining meant to keep heat in had failed and needed replacing. In preparation for Easter, I took a closer look at the old censer and decided it was time to do something about it. So, Father Davis and I had a look around the web to see what was offered that would be fitting.
After much searching we settled on this scaled down replica of the "Bota Fumeiro" from the Cathedral of Santiago the Compostela in Spain. Just like the original, it really puts out the smoke!
