we have thuribles...
Two of them. Compliments of Fr. Curt at St. Francis. My poppa is going to pick them up when he goes to mass and return them when he goes to mass the next morning. Sweet. He didn't know what they were called either. Funny word actually. Thurible. Like durable with a lisp. Anyway, we've all learned something new and hopefully their addition to our service Sunday night will make an impact. BTW..if you're in the area and have Sunday night free..come join us! After last night's rehearsal, I think it's going to be pretty cool. GTTBHBA. 6:00. July 24. Crossing. 4800 Maine. BTBS. Be very square...

bit of important info
(sorry about this 2 section post and taking up valuable space and all)
thuribles - people were told the incense was to help the spirit accend to the next place. they were actually used to cover up the smell of the decaying body.
are you wondering how you have lived this long without knowing this.
I had heard that somewhere along the way...I've played for several funeral masses over the years and secretly prayed my voice wouldn't fail after inhaling the sometimes potent wafts of incense. But I never knew what they were called. Nice info...thanks.
