I was in the choir for a big festive occasion 20-some years ago, & everyone in the procession was more or less dancing down the aisle. At one point, the thurifer did a full Ferris-wheel 360 with the thing! I decline to speculate how much trouble he got into after the service…
Indeed. I read not long ago that “-ster” was originally a feminine ending (as preserved in “spinster,” a woman who spins yarn/thread) corresponding to the masculine “-er,” but its usage gradually lost is gender & came to mean anyone who engaged in an occupation, hence the surnames Webster (weaver), Brewster (brewer), etc. =Google dive=
Easter vigils are fun!
