Quality Hand-Made Incense Enhances the Sweet Fragrance of Prayer
Eastern Orthodox services are very ritualistic with emphasis placed on symbols like religious icons which are venerated by the congregation. To an outsider, an Orthodox Church service looks very grand with the flowing patterned robes worn by the priests and bishops conducting the service, gold and silver crosses and candleholders, and the heady scent of incense smoke wafting across the church.
Special Significance
It may not be known that the incense used during an Orthodox service has a lot of significance because the sweet fragrant smoke it supposed to represent the blessing of the Holy Spirit, the prayers and chanting of the church members going up towards Heaven. Using good quality incense for churches is sometimes difficult, but church supply organizations like Istok Church Supplies, the Calgary-based suppliers, are in a position to supply varied quality of incense for the Orthodox Church along with the incense burners or censers.
