Greek Natural Frankincense Paste Incense Apostolic ~ Handmade on Mount Athos
Origin: Greece
The "Apostolic" incense paste , a handmade monastic incense from Mount Athos , is one of the most classic, imposing and beloved compositions of the Athonite tradition.
Main Features
Athonite Art: Prepared using the authentic monastic method by Fathers of Mount Athos. Pure frankincense tear is ground and kneaded by hand along with high-quality aromatic oils, cut into granules and covered with natural magnesia to prevent sticking.
The Aromatic Profile "Apostolic": It is distinguished by its deep, serious, priestly and aristocratic aroma . It combines a warm resinous base of incense with subtle notes of sacred herbs and oriental spices. It is an imposing aroma that is reminiscent of the great services of the Catholics of Mount Athos.
Symbolism: The name "Apostolic" refers to the missionary tradition and the seriousness of faith, which is why it is often preferred during periods of fasting, major holidays or devout prayers.
Clean Burning: It melts slowly on the charcoal, steadily releasing its aroma without emitting sharp or suffocating smoke.
Usage
At Home (Iconostasi): Ideal for daily prayer, especially for those who prefer traditional, serious and devotional fragrances instead of intense floral notes.
In Churches: It is widely used in Services, Vespers and Divine Liturgies.
Tips for Use
Correct Temperature: To allow "Apostolic" to release its full aromatic depth without burning the oil, place some ash or a small piece of aluminum foil on the lit charcoal before adding the grain.
Preservation: Store in a tightly closed container in a cool place to keep its moisture and aromas unchanged for years.
