Catholic Incense Gift Set with Holy Card;

The haunting aroma of church incense penetrated every inch of the church I attended.

The entire cathedral would be solemn and smoky as the priest and his altar boys walked up the aisle, moving the heavy brass incense burner back and forth. I can even hear the metalic “click click” sound it made with every step. The church: St. Nicholas in Brooklyn, NY. The year: um, a while ago ;-)

My guess is that you may have similar memories, and a desire to experience them again. We’re happy to give you that chance.

I’ve looked high and low for just the right resins and oils to make your memories a reality. The tricky part is, not all Catholic Churches use the same incense. It’s not as if the Pope has made a mandate on which incense to use.

Since every parish’s incense has a slightly different aroma, I asked myself “How do I get the exact fragrance I remember? And even if I do, how can I be sure it’s the perfect scent for other Catholic Church incense lovers?”

So I studied which compounds and resins are used in the Church and found that Frankincense and Myrrh are two of the most celebrated scents and are frequently burned together. But many parishes add other scents…that’s why we’ve included a third scent, that we call “Catholic Essence.”

Now you can mix and match sticks until you achieve the scent closest to what you're looking for.

Have fun with the process. Whether or not you come up with exactly the aroma you're thinking of, we’re sure you'll have fun experimenting and enjoy many delightful aromas along the way. OH, you'll also receive a holy card, a little gift of thanks from me to you .
