The "Pure Moschothymian from Mount Athos with the old traditional recipe" is the final product of the combination of incense, fragrance, and magnesium, without any other admixtures. One of the oldest and most significant uses of incense is in worship ceremonies, particularly in Ecclesiastical Services, where the incense is a key element of the ritual and worship.
The offering of incense by the faithful is a command directly from God, as stated in the Old Testament. Before the start of the incense offering, the priest blesses the incense, praying to God. "We offer you incense, O Christ our God, as a sweet-smelling fragrance." Every day during Vespers, the hymn “Let my prayer rise before you as incense” is sung as the start of the choral part of the service.
The fathers of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi produce the most humanly perfect incense with exceptional quality, great variety, without admixtures, and with fragrances that last until the end of its burning.
