Pure and natural frankincense imported from Ethiopia with hints of lemon and evergreen. This is the first choice selection - larger pieces than our typical pea size offerings, and a finer fragrance.
And when [the Magi] had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. - Matthew 2:11
Those in the parish with asthma/allergies say this is easiest on them. It is also our priest’s favorite.
Incense from Holy Cross is always wonderful and fills the Church with a heavenly scent. I did not get what I ordered, but it is still satisfactory.
Fresh incense, not a problem smoking, very fragrant of the Frankincense.
Very pleasant aroma that does not cloud up the room, very light and delicate.
It burns evenly and completely, no waste at all. I would buy this again.
First time ordering from Holy Cross Monastery. Very fast shipping. Ordered a pound of the First Choice Ethiopian Frankincense resin. Really large nuggets that burn 40 mins to an hour on their 40mm quicklight charcoal. I use this for my personal prayer time in my Thurible. It has a very beautiful and very calming aroma. Helps with my chronic pain and anxiety too. I will definitely be ordering this again.
