The "smoking pot" you refer to is an incense burner. Incense is a substance that gives off a pleasant smell when burnt. It has been used in many cultures including Jewish temples. Carrying on the tradition the Catholic Church uses incense at certain Masses which were called "High Masses" usually celebrated by three priests to "incense" the altar. It is also used at funerals to "incense" the coffin.
AnswerThe incense symbolizes prayer, which rises heavenward towards God. In the traditional Latin rite of Mass, the altar is incensed, intimating that this is a sacred place. It is also an imitation of the early temple practices as well as an allusion to the book of Revelation where incense burns before the altar of God.
