Smelling Incense on a Village Street Today for a Special Spring Sunday ...

Strolling happily near 2 of the places my wife & I rented in the Sewickley Village before buying a home in 2000, I smelled incense. What immediately came to my mind? It's a special day today as 2 Popes are being canonized saints in front of 2 Popes & w/ churches around the block I thought about celebrating mass today. Reading a book on the Prince-Priest Gallitzin of Pennsylvania early settlers of Western PA knew a mass was special by the burning of incense & in fact some of them would not make a daunting winter trip from say Ebensburg Pa to Loretto Pa unless the incense was going to be burnt.
