Desert Fathers Incense presents its 2011 Incense Collection
Welcome to the finest Orthodox Christian incense in the world.
We are the only makers of Orthodox Christian Stick and Cone Incense in the United States, as well as Liturgical Granular Blends, Athonite and other traditional incenses.
Due to popular demand, we have brought back our original flagship blend "AXUM" which we made and sold under our old label "Black Powder Incense". You knew we couldn't do without it for long, didn't you? It's back! Look for it under our Athonite selections!
For instructions on how to burn our stick, cone, or liturgical/Athonite incenses and resins, please visit our Downloads page and print out the appropriate document. We hope that you find that helpful.

Orthodox Christian Stick and Cone Incense
Orthodox Christian Stick Incense
Our stick incense is handmade from the finest,purified charcoal rolled onto the thinnest bamboo sticks we could find. They are then soaked three times, into the purest oils, to produce the finest scent. We do not "dip" our stick and cone incense. We literally soak them three times for the Holy Trinity, to ensure complete saturation and the finest fragrance possible. Our incense sticks are prayerfully made, by hand, in our studio in Reno.
No sawdust. No dung. No glue. No chemicals. No lead. No nonsense. Just beautiful incense.
Our popular 10.5" sticks are only $4.00 per pack. For our shorter, 7.5" sticks, scroll down.
Magi is completely sold out. May we recommend the Treesaver's Ethiopian/Myrrh sticks instead? Scroll down!
SAMPLER PACKS! Choose either a Floral Sampler or a Byzantine Sampler. All Sampler packs come with 2 sticks of each fragrance, color coded on the label. Our floral samplers are all of our new floral scents, and the Byzantine, are our Saint's blends. $4.00 per pack! Please note: Byzantine samplers are completely sold out until after Nativity.
NEW!!! Our Sampler Gift Sets are now available! Imported from Ethiopia, these tiny stick holders, are lovely. In rainbow colours, and mirrored "jewel" glass. Combined with a stick sampler pack of our Floral blends for only $8.95!!! (We will choose a holder for you according to stock and how the "Holy Spirit" moves us. But you'll love it! NOTE: Although there is a cone slot in these, we do NOT recommend burning cones in them. Use this with our stick incense only!)
Orthodox Christian Incense Cones
We have also brought back our famous "Magi" fragrance. (Frankincense and Myrrh)
In packs of 15, in all the same fragrances as our long, 10" sticks. Handcrafted of 1 inch, purified charcoal and soaked three times for the Trinity in our pure aromatic oils. And they're only $4.00 per pack. If you are looking for a quicker burn time, this is it. Average burn time is 30 minutes. (Note: Cones burn faster than sticks, but pack more fragrance.)
Raw Liturgical Resins From Ethiopia
Our beautiful liturgical resins, imported from Ethiopia, unprocessed and straight from the harvest fields. This is the true "frankincense and myrrh" of the Gospels when the Magi visited the Theotokos and the newly born Saviour of the world. We offer individual resins, as well as mixes, all in one ounce packs for only $6.00.
Liturgical Granular Incense Blends
You waited a long time for these and I can only hope and pray that they live up to your expectations. You asked me for truer, granular blends than are currently available from other Christian sources. I prayed about it a great deal and these are my very best blends, ever. I hope you enjoy them. God bless you! My prayers go up with yours as you enjoy these new, liturgical blends. All are in 1 ounce packs and are only $6.00 each. Please read the descriptions below and then place your order.
Alexandria: As deep as the deserts where our early monks and nuns worked out their salvation in fear and trembling, we give you a richly scented blend of Egyptian and Ethiopian frankincense, myrrh, and galbanum, perfumed with the light scents of desert flowers.
Iona Abbey Blend- "In Iona of my heart, Iona of my love,Instead of monks' voices shall be lowing of cows;
But ere the world shall come to an end, Iona shall be as it was." (Prophecy of St. Columba, the founder and Abbot of Iona.) This blend is crisp and clean as the sea air, surrounding the holy island, with hints of lemon and sweetgrasses and lavender. Playfully colored mixture of frankincense, myrrh, and other precious resins to recall the holy Scriptoriums of Iona. SOLD OUT UNTIL MARCH 15
Tana Monastery, a blend of pure white Ethiopian Frankincense and the purest red Ethiopian myrrh. This is the scent of Holy Tradition.
Ephesus: The earthly home of the Theotokos and the Beloved Apostle John. This blend is for them: Predominant tones of myrrh, and enriched with white frankincense from Egypt, and soaked and cured in our finest perfume oil, and finished with the lightest rose we could find. The Theotokos is our Rose.
Lindisfarne: Purified pine resin, mixed with pure white Ethiopian frankincense and myrrh. Perfumed lightly with oakmoss and apple wood oils, lightly scented and drawn to a finish with white lilac. The floral is not heavy enough to overpower, but only serves to support these fine British native wood oils. I think St. Aidan would really like it! (smile!)SOLD OUT UNTIL MARCH 15
Athonite Style Incense
In six beautiful, traditional fragrances:
AXUM, our old flagship blend is back by popular demand! Light Ethiopian rose, tender Persian jasmine, covered in deep frankincense and myrrh oils and finished with true oudh. Coloured in a beautiful gold, to symbolize offering our very best to God! SOLD OUT UNTIL MARCH 15.
Bethlehem: Very traditional frankincense and myrrh, with a hint of lemon.
Desert Fathers: Frankincense, myrrh, and galbanum covered in Ethiopian musk.
Platina: Frankincense and myrrh, infused with pure pine resin. Really reminds me of Platina where Fr. Seraphim Rose met his deer in the quiet of the forest.
Jerusalem: Spikenard, covering frankincense, myrrh, and galbanum, with overtone of musk and spices.
Mt. Athos Garden: Jasmine, clematis and wisteria, coming together with frankincense and myrrh. Very traditional.
Athonite Samplers! Includes 1/2 ounce each of the following fragrances: Bethlehem, Desert Fathers Blend, Jerusalem, Platina, and Mt. Athos Garden. Only $16.00!!!!
