The nuns at St. Elizabeth Skete have been making Church Incense for over 20 years. We use an Athonite process and hand-mix small batches of frankincense from Egypt and Ethiopia with carefully selected fragrance oils. Our incense is of excellent quality with no unpleasant after-burn. We sell three different sizes, the one pound and one-half pound boxes are usually used in churches.Three ounce tins are suitable for home use, or when you wish to try a bit of each fragrance!
