“Pure Athonite Incense with the old traditional recipe” is the final product of the combination of frankincense, fragrance, and magnesium, without any other additives.
The use of incense in worship ceremonies is one of the oldest and most important traditions. Especially in Church Services, censing is a fundamental element of the ritual and worship.
The offering of incense by the faithful is a command from God that originates from the Old Testament, many millennia ago. Before the censing begins, the priest blesses the incense and prays to God, asking for the “grace of the Holy Spirit.”
Every day at Vespers, the hymn “Let my prayer be set forth as incense before You” is chanted, which is connected with the censing by the Priest throughout the church, the faithful, and the icons.
The fathers of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopedi produce the most perfect incense possible, with exceptional quality, great variety, without additives, and with fragrances that last until the end of its burning.
