Mistranslation[edit]

"Botafumeiro" does not mean Smoke belcher, as it was before stated on the introduction. Botar, in this case, is a verb which describes the action of expelling or emitting a certain substance. In this case it's smoke...so Smoke expeller would be more appropriate and it doesn't have the anatomical connotation "belch" has.

Music during botafumeiro swinging?[edit]

Does anyone know the name of the musical piece which is sung by a woman during the noon Mass for pilgrims in the Santiago Cathedral when the botafumeiro is being swung? I've had a lot of questions on this since I posted a video on YouTube under username cfpopsycle. Might be nice to add the name of the music to this site.Dave 03:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Questions[edit]

"certain important religious occasions" begs the question - "which ones ?".

How is it that the censer is made to swing higher and higher by only lengthening and shortening the rope ? Why would this not work without the inital push ? Some explanation of the principle at work would be useful, even if it's just a link to a page that explains the principle at work.

"Apparently at one time, the Botafumeiro was attached to the rope with a hook which sometimes became disconnected." - seems unsuitable style for an encyclopedia as it implies unreliable information - either it was, or it wasn't attached with a hook. This also begs the question "when ?". If there is doubt, then this sentence should probably be omitted. 81.130.143.242 (talk) 17:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
