Description
A Scent of Luminous Beauty
The grand magnolia blossom is a symbol of stately, natural elegance. Its fragrance is not a simple floral, but a bright and luminous aroma, rich with an almost citrus-like quality that is intensely uplifting. Our Athonite Magnolia Incense captures this complex and radiant character. It is a scent that helps foster an atmosphere of serene joy and dignified beauty, transforming your prayer corner into a place of bright, heartfelt devotion.
A Labor of Prayer & Tradition
As an offering from our monastery, this incense is handcrafted in a spirit of prayer, 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, fragrant magnolia oil and kneaded by hand into a dough.
- The mixture is carefully rolled, dusted with magnesia for a perfect consistency, and then hand-cut into small, individual pieces.
- Finally, the incense is cured for over 30 days, allowing the rich aromas to fully mature into the sublime 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.
