The metal vessel on chains in which incense burns; the priest censes the icons and the faithful.
Fumul de tămâie simbolizează rugăciunea care se înalță la cer. Cădelnița are de obicei 12 clopoței, după numărul apostolilor. În timpul cădirii, credincioșii se înclină.
În Biserica Romano-Catolică se numește turibul și se folosește la slujbele solemne.
