Description
May you be blessed with our Athonite Desert Flower Incense, a gift from our monastery which has been lovingly created by the monks of the Sacred Monastery of St. John of the Ladder. Nestled in the historic region of Boetia, Greece, our monastery stands on the hallowed grounds of the ancient Byzantine Monastery of the Archangels, a site steeped in spiritual history.
Crafted with Devotion and Tradition
Our incense is all handcrafted, and honors centuries-old Athonite traditions:
- We begin with pure Ethiopian frankincense, ground to a fine powder.
- The powder is then saturated with high quality, aromatic desert flower oil.
- Skilled monks knead the mixture by hand until it reaches the perfect consistency.
- The incense is then carefully rolled, dusted with magnesia, and cut into small pieces.
- Finally, the incense is cured for a minimum of 30 days, allowing the rich aromas to fully mature and develop.
The result is a sublime desert flower-scented incense suitable for Orthodox worship, whether in church or at home.
The Essence of Desert Flower
Our Athonite Desert Flower Incense offers a rare and remarkable aroma, with its sun-warmed, delicate notes of desert blooms contrasting wonderfully with the resinous frankincense base. The result is a transformative scent that:
- Reminds us of the fruits of patience and persistence in fasting and vigil
- Aids in creating a prayerful atmosphere
- Fills your church or home with an inspiring fragrance
