Thurible Swinging - Easter Sunday

[@AarmOZ84]

I was expecting Uma Thurman to come out and do battle with your acolyte.

[@SamDiMento]

This way of swinging the thurible is specific to the Anglican/Episcopalian tradition, for those who don't know. No, they don't do it that way in a Catholic Mass; just a different tradition.

[@leknight5358]

Most Catholic Churches also have this, but it’s more ceremonial.

[@Tre86Q]

I don't think making loops with the censer is particular to Anglican practice. I've seen it in RC parishes and even cathedrals.

[@SamDiMento]

@@Tre86Q No, you haven't. The only Catholic churches that swing a thurible that way are the ex-Anglican parishes. It is specific to the Anglican tradition. But feel free to provide proof.

[@Tre86Q]

@@SamDiMento Umm ... I'll thank you not to tell me what I've observed in RC liturgies. "Round-the-world" loops with the censer may have originated in Anglicanism, but the practice isn't unique to the Anglican tradition: • kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHnIhHWkq69sfpY • kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn-mqp6smceLeJo • kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHnIhHWkq69sfpY • kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3a8qJyaiq1qrac • kzbin.info/www/bejne/foqyiHZ6bK6qeaM

@@Tre86Q You are correct that this practice isn't specific to Episcopal or Anglican-Use Catholic Parishes. Stylistically, it might be done differently in RC parishes (Usually a "360") however it is done - usually as a high ceremonial point. When it goes wrong, however, it really goes wrong. 360's are also done in the Eastern Catholic and Orthodox Churches that follow the Byzantine Tradition.

[@Sicilianus]

no, but instead you'll see either bolshevik worship or pope of rome submission. the latter is preferrable, however, since the Catholic Church is the true church

[@ProGamer-vk7yv]

wtf did I just watch a ninja in a Catholic church wow hope the thurible wont hit anybody

[@hyukal]

Pro Gamer Episcopal** I wish there were thurifers in my local Catholic church with vernacular. we have these in Tridentine Rite but boys only ;)

[@SaabSurpemacy]

Only boys can or should be alter boys, because they are supposed to follow in the footsteps of the priest. And the priest as called to a celebet and chaste life, is the groom of the church. Therefor a girl could not at all be an alter boy as it goes against who the priest is. Call me sexist, the truth is that is tradition in the Catholic Church and no one should change it.

[@DanielFromDC]

FoxTrot this is an Episcopal Church and so your opinion that men should only be priests and acolytes is irrelevant here.

Really enjoy the technique. Now do the same with 2 thuribles, one each hand.

[@DerekMPiec]

Looks kind of disrespectful. That would never fly in the Catholic Tridentine Mass.

[@oodlesofdoodle1731]

Derek Piec why? But this isn't a Catholic mass. Not everything is about Catholic masses

[@dnwitte]

[@lindsaywilliams7372]

@user-jw2qn8vn4r Thank God for the Protestant Reformation! Anglicanism took the best traditions of Western Christianity, kept the best tossed the rest, so there we have it!

[@CalebCasanova]

I’ve seen the SSPX do it on the livestream of the midnight mass at their new church in Kansas

[@himlogicc]

Tbh, I actually kind of like this looping. This could be used for special occasions like Easter or Christmas, or for an ordination mass.

[@tabadaantonjoshuam.5252]

is there any liturgical explanation behind the method she was swinging it and how much she was swinging it

[@StMattsPennington]

It's just an option for experienced Thurifers during services in the Episcopal Church. Usually reserved for special services, such as Christmas and Easter.

[@Alea_iacta_est8]

I thought this was a Catholic Mass? I see woman on the alter. What church is this.

[@GregoryBryant-yb4pn]

That is a episcopal/ Anglican church not Roman Catholic

[@gibbopg]

I'm still not a fan of Altar girls ... but that was masterful. This could have gone very wrong with the closeness of those pews.

[@afiaakos6937]

Why not?

[@biancasoares66747]

[@mattrenzomiguel9202]

@Kerimcan Ak being an altar server doesn't mean you'll be automatically be a priest in the future

[@kentondickerson]

@Kerimcan Ak Thurifers, acolytes, etc. are lay volunteers. They are not ordained. Her smile at the end is gorgeous.

[@Alea_iacta_est8]

Being on the alter is a way for young men to begin to discern a religious vocation. The state of the church is sad.

[@michaelriordan8265]

Why????

[@Tre86Q]

Swinging the thurible in a circular pattern generates more smoke than simply swinging.

[@dnwitte]

It's a celebratory gesture for Easter. You wouldn't do this at a Lenten service.

[@Tre86Q]

@@dnwitte I'm pretty sure that's right. The looping practice is reserved for high feasts.

[@harryherber2971]

Looks dangerous. Best to keep it simple. It's not a show. Our focus is to praise and worship God.

[@Tre86Q]

True enough. At the same time, praise and worship can take an infinite number of forms. If the 360° swings enhance the joy and richness of the liturgy in the honor of God, why deride the practice? Some denominations (e.g., the Church of Christ) forbid the playing of musical instruments in worship because they believe instrumental music distracts the faithful.

The day of Resurrection to the tune "Ellacombe"
