Why Do They Do This Seemingly Dangerous Ritual (On the Camino De Santiago)🫨🔥👇Imagine if it broke?
This is the Botafumeiro at the Santiago Cathedral in Spain, something we experienced after our 800km Camino Pilgrimage/Trek
Swinging the Botafumeiro at Santiago de Compostela Cathedral is a mesmerizing ritual on the Camino. 🌟
The massive incense burner, the Botafumeiro, swings high above pilgrims, filling the sacred space with aromatic smoke.
This ancient tradition symbolizes purification, cleansing the path of the pilgrim's journey. 🕊️✨
Beyond its spiritual significance, the swinging motion is thought to ward off evil spirits and bless those who've walked the sacred route
Pilgrims gather to witness this awe-inspiring moment, feeling a deep connection to both tradition and the divine. #CaminoTradition #BotafumeiroSwing #SantiagoDeCompostela #bucketlists
