Gifts, Part II

Posted by Reverend Ref + at 8:59 AM

From my post "Gifts" on Wednesday:

She brought: a chasuble, stole, maniple, veil and burse SET ... a sterling silver chalice and paten ... a couple of corporals and palls ... and a box of incense (now if she could just come across a thurible).

My phone rang last night. "Hello ... this is Reverend Ref."

"Hello, Ref .... this is Tom's daughter. We're just finishing up going through his things, and I thought you would want to know that we found a thurible."

"You're kidding!"

"No! I'm not. I'll drop it off at the church before we leave town."

Wow. I have a thurible.

I'm thinking Easter Vigil.

Easter? Why wait?! Christmas Eve!

Or do what I used to do: Sneak into the church the night before and just burn incense for an hour. Then when people arrive on Sunday morning it smells nice, and no one complains about the smoke. :-)

I love the smell of incense in the morning - it smells like victory.

Epiphany...

Frankincense.

Do it! We three kings of Orient are setting fire to bishop and (um) squire (hey, it rhymes kinda)!

Heh.
