Not always, I was there last Friday, and they only had it in the afternoon. There was not botofumero on Saturday, there was on Sunday Peregrinos Mass.So the botofumero swings every friday at all masses?
So the botofumero swings every friday at all masses?
In July last year I wanted to get to the cathedral an hour ahead of time while Peg wanted to get there at the time of the service. We went a half-hour early and there were no seats. Actually though I think we had a better show standing up. Peg said she never saw so many people in a church.We saw the botufumero at the Friday 19.30 Mass on 30th September. We were advised to arrive at 18.00 and warned that doors might be closed at 19.00 if the cathedral was full. In December it may be less busy.
The Botafumeiro is always used at the 7:30 PM Friday mass plus some other special dates (Christmas, 25th July, etc.). In addition, it is used whenever there is a pilgrimage (I think they refer to pilgrimages organized by church groups...). I went to the Pilgrims mass at 12 noon last Sunday 9th October and they had it then, but not on the 7:30PM mass that same day...Hi. My wife and I are going from Sarria to Santiago mid december.
We would like to know when it is best to arrive in Santiago for the Mass in the Cathedral. Is Mass everyday?
Thanks.
