I watched a video yesterday of a Catholic Christmas Mass in Africa do this. It looks dangerous.

I am a veteran thurifer at my Episcopal Church parish. And, let me tell you, this young lady is an awesome thurifer..

[@DemonAnarchy666]

I'm roman Catholic and I used to altar serve every weekend for 12 years in my home parish in cramlington and the cathedral parish in Newcastle upon Tyne . I was one of the main thurifers and by God did I love doing incense.

The method she is using to swing the censer unique to the Anglican tradition; you won't see it in a Catholic church.
