A censer, or thurible, is a type of incense holder that has been used for centuries in religious and spiritual ceremonies. It consists of a container with hot coals, and the incense is placed on top of them. The thurible is then swung back and forth to spread the fragrant smoke throughout the space. In the Catholic Church, the thurible is often used to alight the burning incense and bless the crowd during important church offices, such as benedictions or processions.
