does anyone know what kind of incense is used in the catholic church and if so where can i get some?

Answer 1

Church incense is usually resin based (frakincense, myrrh, benzoin, copal, etc). Frankincense and myrrh is the most popular blend. It can be gotten at most church supply houses. This link is not to a church supply house, but "Three Kings" and "Trinity" resin incense can be gottten here:

Note that resin incense has to be burned on charcoal.

Answer 2

Catholic incense is a granulated aromatic resin, obtained from certain trees in Eastern and tropical countries, especially from those of the terebinth family.

When sprinkled upon a glowing coal in the "censer", it burns freely and emits an abundant white smoke of very fragrant odor.

Various spices are sometimes mixed with the resin to increase its fragrance.

Any church supply store should be able to sell you some. Here is one example: http://www.catholicsupply.com/churchs/incense.html

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

There are many different "flavors" of incense. Try a Catholic religious goods store near you or google"buy incense".

Answer 4

Ethinc stores like Greek or Italian specialty or pastery shops will have both incense and the charcoal cubes to burn them....well worth it

You can do a search online for it. There are tons of online stores that sell it.
