This ritual is a must see. Several monks light the botafumeiro (thurible) & then proceed to pull down on the pully mechanism to make it swing from one end of the nave to the other. It swings in a 65 meter arc & reaches heights of 21 meters. It is quite a unique performance! (so far, there have only been 4 accidents in its history & no serious injuries!!)
