Some good news from the Camino!

After almost two years, the botafumeiro will swing again during Mass. If all goes as planned, this will happen either during the Mass on December 30th, celebrating the Feast of the Translation of Saint James’s remains; or during the Mass on the 31st of December, celebrating the start of the 2021 Holy Year.
