Description: CHOOSE YOUR FRAGRANCES! BELOW IS A DESCRIPTION OF EACH SCENT, AND MORE INFORMATION AFTERWARD! OLD CHURCH: We bottled up the aroma of an ancient Byzantine basilica with wooden rafters overhead and the smoke of frankincense lingering in the air. Old Church incense is a complex and woody blend of labdanum, frankincense, cedar & fir needle and vetiver, with a touch of spices. LAVENDER WOOD: Rich and smoky lavender softened with warm spices and the woodsy aromas of cedar and moss. Lavender is oftentimes mentioned in the Bible, but by the name used at that time - spikenard (from the Greek name for lavender, naardus, after the Syrian city Naarda). EVERGREEN & EMBERS: A deep and rich mixture of fir, spruce, balsam, cedarwood and moss with touches of cinnamon, clove and eucalyptus creates a wonderful and complex aroma of evergreen. An especially delightful fragrance during the Nativity season, but wonderful for any time of the year. FLOWERS OF CYPRUS: From the rolling meadows of Cyprus comes a magnificent floral blend of rose, orange blossom, geranium, jasmine, and carnation combined with citrus fruit oils tempered with woody and mossy base notes. MOUNT OF OLIVES: Dedicated to the Mount of the Lord's Ascension. A complex and elevated fragrance that combines neroli blossom, cinnamon bark, and jasmine, with top notes of olive leaf. FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH: Our Ethiopian Frankincense is blended with granules of real Myrrh resin, for a delightfully warm and earthy scent, with light notes of citrus. This traditional combination has been used in divine worship for millenia. And when [the Magi] had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. - Matthew 2:11 JERUSALEM: A powerful rose presence blended with warm berry and a touch of honey, this amazing fragrance was obtained from a Romanian skete on Mt Athos. JASMINE: A strong jasmine presence presides, accompanied with light florals, citrus and smooth musk to create this pleasing scent. HYSSOP: Thyme, lavender and eucalyptus are warmed with moss, amber and vanilla to capture the fragrance of this herb which was used for liturgical purposes during biblical times. "Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean..." -Psalm 50:7 BETHLEHEM ROSE: Bethlehem Rose is a very distinct powdery rose fragrance warmed with woody musks and sweet vanilla. SPIKENARD: A fragrant bouquet of violet, ylang ylang, and jasmine, with top notes of wintergreen and grape, warmed with musk. BURNING BUSH: A beautiful spicy fragrance with soft floral blends, a touch of cinnamon and clove and sweetened with honey. If you like Cassia or Evergreen & Embers, you are sure to love Burning Bush incense. The original burning bush that Moses saw still exists on Mt. Sinai and is often referred to as a symbol for the Mother of God. NAZARETH: Sandalwood and guaiac wood are joined with sweet musks and soft florals, and gently laced with cinnamon and clove spices. This fragrance is known for being very low impact on those with respiratory sensitivities. SWEET MYRRH: A warm blend of cedarwood and sandalwood, with a sweet and earthy base of vanilla, musk, and tonka beans. CONSTANTINOPLE: An elegant fragrance from the queen of Byzantine cities composed of powdery rose incense blended with sandalwood, sweet myrrh, and soft spice. HONEYSUCKLE: A white floral bouquet of pure honeysuckle, complemented with touches of jasmine, honey, citrus notes, lavender, vanilla musk, and sandalwood. BYZANTIUM: We bottled up the aroma of an ancient Byzantine basilica with wooden rafters overhead and the smoke of frankincense lingering in the air. Old Church incense is a complex and woody blend of labdanum, frankincense, cedar & fir needle and vetiver, with a touch of spices. AMARANTH: A fresh, sweet blend of eucalyptus, berries, pine needles, and lavender, rounded with notes of vanilla and musk. CASSIA: A rich mixture of cinnamon and cloves, this pleasing incense lingers in the air long after being used. "All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad." (Psalm 44:8) All incense comes in easy to open durable plastic screw top containers to preserve fragrance and freshness. While most people are familiar with incense sticks, resin is really the original incense, as it is obtained from refined tree and plant sap and has been used all over the world for thousands of years, even in Ancient Egypt times. Compared to incense sticks, resin offers a stronger scent and doesn’t contain any unwanted additives. As natural resin doesn’t burn on its own, you’ll need charcoal tabs to burn resin incense. Simply light the charcoal, spread the resin on the charcoal using a small spoon and enjoy the rich resin fragrances. Our Athonite Style incense is made at a Monastery here in the USA. This is wonderful smelling incense, and it lasts up to 30 minutes. We sell burners and censers in our eBay store as well, along with charcoal for the censers. This incense would be a relaxing addition to either your home, or your personal space such as a prayer room or devotional area. This container has 1/2 pound of incense inside, which are small irregularly shaped chunks. How to use the charcoal to burn resin incense: use a pair of tongs to place a charcoal disc in the incense burner. Hold a flame to the charcoal until sparks have trans versed the tab.The tabs ignite easily and quickly by holding a simple, small-flamed lighter to it. When the charcoal is fully heated, a gray, ashy soot will cover the red-hot, glowing tab. This indicates the charcoal is ready for use. Spread the incense on top of the charcoal using small spoon and enjoy the exotic fragrance released by the incense. This is traditional Athonite Style Incense for church and home use, in a wide variety of fragrances, suitable for every service and devotional occasion. Athonite Style Incense is made by monks as part of their daily obediences. Produced from pure frankincense resin and cut for use in charcoal burning censers.
