censer

censer
Noun
pl: censers

This term describes a specialized liturgical tool designed to disperse aromatic smoke, evoking an atmosphere of sanctity and ritual. It is most frequently associated with high-church traditions, such as Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy, where the act of censing symbolizes prayers rising toward heaven.

Because it is a concrete physical object, it follows standard English countability rules. It is distinct from a simple incense burner used for home fragrance, as a censer often implies a ceremonial vessel, frequently suspended by chains for swinging during a procession.
