It was reported that the Botafumeiro was a subject of much discussion among those readying the Cathedral for next year. The latest information was that the Botafumeiro will be brought once a day, except Sundays, after one or the other of the seven Pilgrim masses in a rotation basis at random (sic), without previous notice of which Mass will be the one so favored in order to avoid a rush of people thereto.<BR>
Some cynics are predicting that those in the know will do a brisk business trading that information. I personally do not think that such schemes, if indeed intended, could work out in the midst of huge and transient crowds such as expected next year.<BR>
