EnglishReligious incense
The Palais du Rosaire, a Lourdes family business founded in 1914, offers its range of Catholic religious incense, in grains as well as sticks. Used since the earliest centuries of the Church, incense accompanies prayer and recollection, in church as much as at home. Here you will find a variety of fragrances, some of them dedicated to the saints and the great devotions.
How to use religious incense
Use depends on the format. Sticks sit on an incense holder and burn on their own: it is the simplest format for daily use. Grains, more traditional, are placed on a lit charcoal set in a censer; the heat then releases their fragrance. For the full step-by-step, discover how to use a censer.
Incense dedicated to the saints
Part of our incense is dedicated to saints and great devotions, such as Saint Michael, Saint Charbel or Saint Rita. It is burned while joining in the prayer of the saint one wishes to invoke, to accompany a particular intention.
Incense in prayer
Burning incense creates an atmosphere suited to recollection. At home, it accompanies a time of prayer or meditation; in church, it is used at Mass and the great celebrations. A little incense is enough to dispose the heart and mind to prayer.
