Golden Incense Sticks

In aside from being burned for spiritual and health reasons, incense can also be used to refresh the aroma of indoor spaces. The smoke from burning incense will be breathed, just like the smoke from anything else. There have been some recent investigations into the potentially harmful effects of incense on health.Purification and sanctification are the goals of incensing, and the smoke has symbolic meaning. As an example, in the Eastern Rites, the altar and sanctuary area were incensed while Psalm 50, the "Miserere," was chanted requesting mercy from God at the start of Liturgy.
