Where there's smoke...


Father ain't usin' the thurible today. Should we worry?





Other cartoonists have probably ventured here and used the word "thurible" in their work.New territory for me. The word refers to the thingee some priests and pastors use to disperse incense into a worship space. I personally became "low church" by accident. I'm very allergic to incense and to Easter lilies.

Thanks for the explanation on what a thurible is - new word for me. I'm with you on the allergies, especially the lilies! :o)

WHAT a word!

Yeah what a word. Sometimes the one carrying the thurible (or censer) is called the thurifer. No danger in falling into arcane language here:)
