Story & Symbolism:

Incense in Christian liturgy, deeply spiritual and historically significant, symbolizes divine encounters through Christ\'s incarnation. Incense in liturgy transforms ordinary elements into sacred symbols, connecting to God\'s kingdom. Echoing Psalms 141:2, \"May my prayer be counted as incense before You; The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering,\" illustrates prayer as a fragrant offering to God. It represents prayers ascending to God, a tradition rooted in ancient rituals and Jewish Temple practices. Integral to Christian worship by the fifth century, its use in Mass, as prescribed in the Roman Missal, signifies prayers reaching heaven, infusing the ceremony with solemnity, mystery, and a heavenly atmosphere. Utilized to incense the altar, Gospel, offerings, celebrant, clergy, and congregation, incense also plays a pivotal role in funerals, honoring the deceased and representing prayers for their soul. This sacred tradition enriches the liturgy\'s sensory realm, emphasizing the omnipresence of Christ.
