How do you hold a thurible?
The chain, or chains should end in a loop or some sort of end. You hold the end or loop in your left hand, and the chain or chains (about half way down) in your right hand as you swing it. To just hold it, just hold the end. If you are walking in a procession, you would hold the end in your left hand while swinging it gently back and forth and hold your right hand open against your chest. If you are hanging the thurible up, you should probably pull the top up so that it doesn't just sit on the top and get too hot to do anything with.
