Nutmeg of the Holy Great Monastery of Vatopaidi 1Kg

Incense is the end product of the combination of incense, perfume and magnesia.

Frankincense, which is the basis of incense, is the aromatic resin extracted from the incised cuts of the trunk of the tree “livanos”, hence its name.

One of the oldest and most important uses of incense was its use in worship ceremonies and especially in ecclesiastical services, in which incense is a basic element of ritual and worship.

Besides, before the beginning of the incense, the priest blesses the incense and binds himself to God so that the offering of the incense has as a counter-offering on behalf of God, the “grace of the Holy Spirit”. “We offer you incense, O Christ our God, for a fragrant odour, who, when we are seated on your altar of super-virginity, has replaced for us the grace of your Holy Spirit.” At vespers, the chanters sing daily the “Let my prayer be directed as incense before you”.

With this in mind, the fathers of the monastery produce with personal care, prayer and a great sense of responsibility the best product humanly possible, which will be used exclusively for the worship of God.

The musks produced at the Holy Mother of God of Vatopedi are of excellent quality, with great variety, without impurities, with aromas that last until the end of burning.
