There are only a hand full of times I have been to mass?

Question

But I noticed that incense that the priest wafts around smells sooooo good.

Anyone know what scent that is? Something that I could buy at the local head shoppe? lol

Answer 1

it's a mix of different scents, you can buy it online. just google church incense

Answer 2

No, you need to get special stuff.

IMHO, the Orthodox stuff knocks the socks off the Catholic stuff -- it's amazing.

You need an incense burner, charcoal briquettes, and the incense itself. Here are some links to a place I've ordered from:

But the absolute BEST incense comes from Mt Athos in Greece, and the only place I know that sells it is a little store in Washington DC called the Icon and Book Service --

Call them and order a pound of "Desert Flower." Word.

Answer 3

The base fragrence is frankincense. Sometimes it is mixed with myrrh. You need to experiment with brands because there can be a whole range of smells that are labeled with the same name. In other places, the combination is often called Cathederal Blend. But you can also buy directly from a catholic shop that carries it.

Answer 4

the motion he uses with the incense is an old hypnotists motion, and the potion has a little hashish in it to STONE the parishioners so they'll accept his lies.

Answer 5

That's a scary question, though.
