Those cheap net curtain cottas one often sees the Tradunculi wearing at their low masses are bad enough but I've seen it all now. A lace bucket! One wonders if it was draped over the bucket to safeguard the dignity of the candle? How is this different from those tawdry plastic holy water bottles shaped in the likeness of the phantom woman of Lourdes? Or that hideous statue of pope Francis I saw the other week in St Paul's by Westminster? Once again the New Liturgical Movement leads the way on the straight and narrow path to liturgical orthopraxis...
I think that it is a primitive type of washing machine. There are paddles at the base of the candle and the operator turns the candle between the palms of their hands, the paddles turn around and the net curtains are drawn into the tub.
