Livani House — handmade Greek Orthodox incense: frankincense and myrrh resins and Athonite blends, made in Kalamata for churches and home.

Livani House
ΘΥΜΙΑΜΑ  ·  HANDMADE INCENSE  ·  KALAMATA

Sacred incense,
made by hand.

Frankincense and myrrh resins, and Athonite-style blends, prepared the monastery way in our Kalamata workshop. For the church and for the home icon corner.

LET MY PRAYER ARISE

"Let my prayer arise as incense before you,
the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice."

For a thousand years the rising smoke has carried the prayers of the faithful upward. We prepare our incense the way the monasteries of the Holy Mountain do — pure resins, natural essences, and the patience of hand-work.

THE COLLECTIONS

Everything from the workshop

PREPARED THE ATHONITE WAY

A form of prayer in itself

01

Sourced pure

We start with Grade-A frankincense and myrrh resin — whole tears, not powder or offcuts.

02

Ground & blended

For our scented blends, resin is ground and married to natural rose, jasmine, or Athonite essence.

03

Shaped by hand

The fragrant paste is shaped into small grains — the slow, quiet work the monasteries have always done.

04

Dusted & rested

Each grain is dusted with fine magnesia so it never sticks, then left to cure before it reaches you.

THE LITURGICAL YEAR

A scent for every season

The right incense sets the tone of the service. Here is where we'd start.

Nativity & Feasts

Bright frankincense and floral blends for joy and celebration.

Great Lent

Solemn, grounding myrrh for repentance and the fasting seasons.

Pascha

Rose and festal blends for the Resurrection and Bright Week.

Everyday prayer

The Mount Athos blend — gentle enough for the icon corner, any day.

WHY LIVANI HOUSE

Made in Kalamata
