Christ is Risen!

Its not a thurible, its a “theemeeato” and it should always have twelve bells on it representing the 12 Apostles. Inside...Imperial Rose incense (the best!).

“LORD, I Have Cried Out Unto You: hear me! Hear me, O Lord!
Lord, I Have Cried Out Unto You: hear me! Receive the voice of my prayer!
When I call upon You, hear me, O Lord!
Let my prayer arise in Your sight as incense,
And let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice.
Hear me, O Lord!”

Incense is used during the Mass to bless the Altar when the priest first ascends to it, and, during the Offertory, to bless the bread and wine, the Crucifix and Altar (again), and the congregation.

It is also used to incense the Book of the Gospels.

Incense is used at every Divine Liturgy celebrated in the Maronite Catholic Church. It is used to incense the Tabernacle during the chanting of the Salatoukee and always during Lent, for Stations of the Cross, to incense the Crucifix. It is also used on Good Friday to incense the shroud, containing the 'crucified Christ', carried in procession 3 times around the Church.

Here's a question. What is the title of the individual who leads the procession, swinging the thurible?
