A thurible is a metal censer suspended from chains, in which incense is burned during religious ceremonies. It's often used in various Christian denominations, particularly in Catholic and Orthodox traditions, as well as in some other religious practices. The thurible typically consists of a container, often intricately designed and perforated to allow airflow, attached to a chain or chains for swinging. When incense is placed inside and lit, the thurible is swung by a priest or server to disperse the fragrant smoke throughout the space, symbolizing prayers rising to heaven.
