The Holy Family, a model of love and protection


The Holy Family, made up of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, is a model of faith, unity and devotion for Christians. It symbolises family love, trust in God and divine protection over every home.

In Christian tradition, the Holy Family is invoked to bring peace and harmony to homes, protect families from life's trials and strengthen the bonds between their members. The Holy Family incense is thus a means of accompanying prayers intended to ask for this divine benevolence.

The origin and composition of Holy Family incense

Holy Family incense is a sacred blend of carefully selected natural resins and essences to create an atmosphere of peace and spirituality. It is designed to promote prayer, home protection and family harmony.

Its composition can include:

  • Olibanum and myrrh: two precious resins with spiritual and purifying properties.
  • Benjoin: a gentle, comforting aroma that promotes serenity.
  • Sandalwood: a woody note that invites meditation and contemplation.
  • Light floral notes: often based on rose or jasmine, to evoke tenderness and family love.

This balanced blend helps to create an atmosphere conducive to family meditation and prayer.
