An Echo of the Heavenly Kingdom
Our Byzantine Incense is a festive and joyous aroma, designed to transport the soul to a place of liturgical splendor.

It is a scent that elevates the senses, filling your church or home with a fragrance worthy of the services of the Church.
A Labor of Prayer & Tradition
As a treasured offering from our monastery, this premium incense is handcrafted in a spirit of devotion, honoring the centuries-old Athonite traditions:
- We begin with pure Ethiopian frankincense, ground to a fine, golden powder.
- This powder is saturated with a high-quality, aromatic Byzantine oil and kneaded by hand into a dough.
- The mixture is carefully rolled, dusted with magnesia for a perfect consistency, and cut into small pieces.
- Finally, the incense is cured for over 30 days, allowing the rich aromas to fully mature into the magnificent fragrance we offer to you.
An Offering of Faith
When you bring this incense into your home, you are doing more than making a purchase—you are participating in our story. The proceeds from our handiwork directly sustain our self-funded monastic brotherhood and support the monastery that we rebuilt, by the grace of God, after it was destroyed in an earthquake. We thank you for your support of our mission.
