Description
May you be blessed with our Athonite Lilac 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, fragrant lilac 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 lilac-scented incense suitable for Orthodox worship, whether in church or at home.
The Essence of Lilac
Our Athonite Lilac Incense presents a lush, floral aroma, with its sweet, delicate lilac notes dancing above a subtle, earthy base. The result is a gentle scent that
- Evokes springtime and new beginnings, reminding us to repent today of our spiritual failings
- Inspires us to imitate the lilac and preserve our sweetness and purity for Christ
- Fills your church or home with a sweet, floral, and calming fragrance
