camino tidbits pt. 2

more videos!

Typical Galicia:



 
Pilgrims Mass at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. The bishop was there, so they lit the botafumeiro, the largest censer in the world. It takes 8 men to hold the pulley mechanism that keeps it from falling.
The smoke represents our prayers being lifted to St James. A truly religious experience.


more thoughts & updates soon, promise.
