July 25, 2012. (Romereports.com)(-ONLY VIDEO-) July 25th marks the feast day of St. James. When the Pope traveled to Spain in November 2010, he visited the Cathedral of  'Santiago de Compostela,' where St. James is buried. He also took part in a traditional ceremony, known in Spanish as 'Botafumeiro.'



The ritual involves a giant incense holder, that's hung from the Cathedral's roof. It's then swung from one side to the other.  St. James is the patron Saint of Spain.
