The "Pure Incense of Mount Athos with the old traditional recipe" is the final product of the combination of frankincense, perfume, and magnesium, without any other admixtures.
One of the oldest and most significant uses of incense is its application in worship ceremonies, particularly in Church services, where the incense burning is a fundamental element of the rite and the worship.
The incense offered by the faithful is a command directly from God, as mentioned in the Old Testament. Before the incense is burned, the priest blesses the incense and dedicates it to God, so that the offering has as its counter-offering the “grace of the Holy Spirit.”
Every day during Vespers, the hymn “Let my prayer arise before You as incense” is sung at the beginning of the psalmody, associated with the incense burning by the Priest throughout the church, towards the faithful and the icons.
The fathers of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi produce the most refined incense of exceptional quality, with great variety, without mixtures, and with aromas that last until the end of the burning.
