Incense candles
It is known that nuns are made from incense, aromatic compounds from the Holy Mount Athos and coal. Each time they emit an easily recognizable aroma of church service. Nuns were used even during the foundation of the first Orthodox monasteries. However, this tradition during the years of atheism was almost forgotten.
Incense during burning gives a gentle haze and a pleasant aroma, which is convenient for every cottage, even when the windows are closed. Manufacturers traditionally make aromatic compositions based on natural incense and aromatic oils made in Greece. In the shops you can buy candles with aromas:
- incense "Rose";
- with the aroma of “Trinity”;
- with the smell of "Athos";
- "Byzantium";
- "Easter";
- "Holy night";
- "Natural Incense" and so on.
Previously, the nuns had a conical shape, sharpened to the wick and expanded at the base in the form of a nun's dress. That is why they got their name. Today, nuns have an even shape and black color.
Home censing is a tradition that our forefathers generously passed on to us. And the strength of the clan and ancestors is another powerful incentive for the qualitative improvement of their lives.
