I first noticed this during Solemn Vespers of the First Sunday of Advent, but it also occurred during Vespers with University Students in St. Peter's Basilica. I was wondering if any liturgists out there in the blogosphere could tell me why there were two Deacons incensing the Altar during the Magnificat?

Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Peaceful New Year.
God bless.
It's actually normal to have two Deacons censing the Papal altar; although I can't remember how far back the custom goes.
Try looking on 'New Liturgical Movement'; things like that get discussed and explained on there all the time !
