Description Athonite handmade incenses, produced in the traditional way, are among the oldest monastic and cell-like services. The monks, with their prayer and effort, prepare this fragrant offering “for a sweet-smelling aroma of spiritual fragrance.” The Agiopavlitiko Monastery of Saint Nicholas, located in the Monoxylitis area, is surrounded by a pine forest, large herb and aromatic plant gardens, and organic vineyards that are lovingly and diligently cared for, in collaboration and under the supervision of the American Agricultural School. It is situated in an area with abundant running water, excellent soil composition, and an optimal environmental microclimate. The biodiversity found here impresses even the most demanding nature lover, in a location where olive groves and vineyards have existed since the end of the first millennium. The unique course of the river and its mouth, where it meets the sea waves of the “Three Sisters,” bring life to the rich local flora and fauna of the Monastery. Net Weight: 50g
