Three chains are attached to the bowl, by which the censer can be carried around during the service or hung from the stand. A fourth chain is attached to the lid. With this chain the lid can be raised to refill incense. This is done by placing incense grains on glowing coals. The acolyte who carries the censer is the thuriferarius, thurifer, or incense-bearer
