wowsa. good to know. (must have missed that in all my CCD classes growing up) ;P
Went to Our Lady of the Assumption school/church in the Bronx as a kid. The church was just a basement and the diocese had planned to eventually build the whole church on top of the existing foundation. An alter boy accelerated the process. The kid was in the sacristy whipping the thurifer (I use to just call it the incense burner) rapidly around his head. When a burning ember landed on a pile of those alter drapes. Bingo The church was gutted and Mass had to be celebrated in the school auditorium for the next few years till the new church was built.
