Prepared grains · Marian scent
A prepared incense in the Athonite tradition: frankincense resin ground and married to rose essence, shaped into grains and dusted with magnesia so they never stick. Delicate, soothing, and long associated with the Virgin Mary — a favourite for feasts of the Theotokos and for the home icon corner.
Soft rose over frankincense — traditionally linked to the Theotokos.
Prepared the way the monasteries of the Holy Mountain have for centuries.
Gentle enough for the icon corner, proper enough for the parish.
Place 2–3 grains on a glowing charcoal in a censer or burner. Refresh as the scent fades.
Frankincense resin, natural rose essence, magnesia coating.
