i think i missed the celebration of anho xubliar xacabeo because i went to mass in the santiago cathedral at midday yesterday and didn't see that type of mass with the botafumeiro.
That (holiday) would be
la Purisima.
Sorry if I misled you about the Botafumeiro. The
año Júbilar Xacobeo should have begun with the First Sunday of Advent (beginning of the Ecclesiastical Year), 30 noviembre. Other than on the feastday of
Santiago Apostol, I always saw the
Botafumeiro bit at the Pilgrims' Mass {Saturdays) during Jubilee years. But you say you were at Mass in the Basilica (
Obradoiro) Sunday, 7 Dec. I guess we got our signals crossed.
