[edit] Mistranslation

"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.

[edit] Music during botafumeiro swinging?

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)
