Description
The Scent of Tranquil Beauty
Like the fragrant white flowers that release their perfume at dusk, our Athonite Jasmine Incense offers a fragrance of profound peace and tranquility. The aroma is a rich and heady floral, sweet but not overpowering, with a classic character that has been beloved for centuries. It is a scent that helps to calm the soul and soothe the mind, fostering an atmosphere of serene beauty that is perfectly suited for the quiet moments of evening prayer and personal 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 jasmine 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 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.
