In the Byzantine Rite, the censers are VERY elaborate—some have icons and jewels on them. The chains are strung with bells, and the priest deliberately used the censer in such a way as to sweep incense far and wide and to ring those bells to call our attention to what he is doing: Making a holy gift to the Lord. We get incense and processions several times in every Liturgy, every Sunday. Cool, huh?
