Mount Athos Incense – Orthodox Monastic Incense from Greece (23)

Genuine Mount Athos incense – hand-crafted by monks following recipes passed down over centuries in this sacred region of northern Greece, recognised worldwide for its orthodox monastic incense, for prayer, meditation and the quiet care of wellbeing at home.

Artisan monastic incense – Frankincense, rose and further blends

The collection brings together several compositions, all made following the same monastic methods from pure Frankincense and precious aromatic oils:

  • Artisan quality following monastic tradition – each piece is crafted by monks from pure Frankincense and concentrated aromatic oils, following recipes handed down through generations. Genuine Mount Athos incense is fully hardened and holds its form over time.
  • Traditional rose compositions – in the Orthodox liturgy, the scent of rose has accompanied prayer and devotion for centuries. This tradition sits at the heart of the collection and remains its most widely chosen blend.
  • A wide range of compositions – beyond the classic rose, the selection includes many floral and balsamic blends suited to personal prayer, meditation or the purification and scenting of a room.

How to use Mount Athos incense – for prayer, meditation and wellbeing

This incense requires an external heat source. Light a charcoal tablet in a heat-resistant censer, bowl or traditional orthodox hand burner (Katzion) and wait until it glows evenly – then place a few pieces of incense on top. The fragrance releases slowly and steadily, ideal for prayer, a meditation session or a quiet, contemplative evening.

Mount Athos incense makes a quiet, meaningful gift for anyone who wants to bring the spirit of centuries-old monastic craft into their home.
