The "Pure Incense from Mount Athos with the old traditional recipe" is the final product of the combination of frankincense, perfume, and magnesium, without any other additives.
One of the oldest and most significant uses of incense is its use in worship ceremonies, particularly in Church Services, where incense is a fundamental element of the ritual and worship.
The offering of incense by the faithful is a command directly from God, as mentioned in the Old Testament, many millennia ago!
Before the incense offering begins, the priest blesses the incense, beseeching God that this offering may have as a counter-offering on behalf of God, the “grace of the Holy Spirit.”
Every day during Vespers, the "Let my prayer rise before you as incense" is chanted as the beginning of the psalmody of the service and is mostly linked to the incense being offered by the priest throughout the church, to the faithful and the icons.
The fathers of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi produce with personal care, prayer, and a great sense of responsibility the most humanly perfect incense of exceptional quality, with great variety, without additives, and with scents that last until the end of the burning.
