Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Christian tradition, known for his courage and unshakeable faith.

The origins and composition of Saint George's incense grains
Saint George's incense is made from a blend of natural resins, carefully selected for their purifying and protective properties. Its main components include frankincense and myrrh, two resins used for centuries for their ability to sanctify a space and ward off evil influences.
Benzoin adds a soft, comforting touch, promoting inner peace, while cedar and camphor add a protective, energising dimension. This harmonious blend produces a rich, enveloping smoke, creating an atmosphere conducive to prayer and meditation.
