John XXIII During a Corpus Christi Procession
Qurbana in the Syro-Malankara rite
The blessing of the Censer is considered to be one of the important moments in the Holy Qurbana. This is the time when the Priest blesses the censer three times in the name of each persons in the Holy Trinity which is an another version of the thrice-holy hymn.
At the most solemn parts of the liturgy, a gentle ring of bells and the shaking of a liturgical fan symbolized the presence of the seraphim around the altar and the sound is likened to the fluttering of their wings. At the epiclesis, the priest waves his hands over the bread and wine with a fluttering motion, signifying the descent of the Holy Spirit and the deacon admonishes the people to stand in awe as the Holy Spirit is descending and hovering over the mysteries.
