Incense, a central element of Christian worship
Since the first centuries of Christianity, incense has been an essential element of religious worship. Its use in cathedrals was inspired by Jewish and Oriental traditions, where fragrant smoke was a sign of offering and sanctification.
In the great cathedrals, incense is used for solemn masses, liturgical celebrations and blessings. It accompanies the prayers of the faithful as they ascend towards God, symbolising their fervour and devotion. Its fragrance fills the sacred space, enveloping believers in an atmosphere of peace and mystery.
The wisps of smoke rising beneath the high vaults of cathedrals are a reminder of the grandeur of the divine and the union between heaven and earth. To burn incense is to take part in an age-old tradition where every prayer is a spiritual offering.
