Sacred Greek Orthodox Incense (2 oz)

Traditional hand-rolled Greek Orthodox incense tablets, crafted in the ancient monasteries of Greece, combining the sweet floral essence of jasmine with sacred frankincense. Each tablet is carefully prepared following centuries-old methods and blessed according to Orthodox tradition.
Ancient Orthodox Tradition: The crafting of church incense (θυμίαμα - thymiama) has been a sacred art in Orthodox monasteries since the Byzantine era. This tradition dates back to the 4th century when Christianity became the official religion of the Byzantine Empire. The monks believe that as the incense smoke rises, it carries prayers heavenward, following the biblical reference: "Let my prayer arise in Your sight as incense" (Psalm 141:2).
Monastic Crafting Process: The monks begin their work with prayer and maintain silence throughout the crafting process. The incense is prepared in special workshops within the monastery, often during specific prayer times of the day. Following ancient recipes passed down through generations, they:
Hand-select and grind the finest frankincense resin
Carefully blend sacred aromatics like jasmine
Mix the ingredients with blessed water and white clay
Hand-roll each tablet while reciting prayers
Allow natural drying in the monastery's stone chambers
Bless the finished incense before distribution
