UPDATE: We also have incense starter kits (containing brass burners, charcoal, and incense) for beginners. Take a look at https://www.istorya.net/forums/everyt...-charcoal.html
If you are interested in the scent of incense, you will love the smell of the real deal, which is what I'm offering here.
I'm selling
PURE frankincense from Northeast Africa and
PURE myrrh from Asia / India.
Christians know that these two (frankincense and myrrh) are two of the gifts brought by the Wise Men from the East at the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. The third one, of course, was gold -- but I'm not selling that.
Frankincense and myrrh are the base ingredients of the incense that most Christian churches use at their religious ceremonies. If you've been to a Catholic Mass, the scent may have become familiar to you. But, as you will discover if you try these pure resins, the incense used at Mass smells different from the smell of pure frankincense and myrrh.
I have noticed for the past few years that the scent of the incense used in Catholic Masses in Cebu smells so horrid and acrid. I found out that the incense commonly used these days is of cheap quality. It smells awful, makes your throat itch, and sometimes triggers asthma attacks (or even just a psychological desire to flee or escape). It is not the smoke and smell that a dignified liturgy deserves.
But, this incense I'm offering is
PURE frankincense and
PURE myrrh. The resin grains (also known as "tears") are meant to be burned on hot, live coals. Most people who use incense burn it during prayer time. Some burn it for the pleasure of the aromatic scent.
Consider these resins for giving away as gifts to friends and family or as offerings to your church. Here are the updated prices of our incense:
- San Pedro Calungsod (pure and genuine Biblical frankincense) — 1.0 ounce pack — PHP 290.00
- San Lorenzo Ruiz (pure and genuine sweet frankincense resin from Northeast Africa — 1.0 ounce pack — PHP 290.00
- Kyrie Eleison (pure Asian myrrh gum resin) — 1.0 ounce pack — PHP 270.00

This is a photo (above) of a large pure frankincense nugget burning on top of a live charcoal tablet. It smells heavenly.
