These burn beautifully with our pure beeswax candles in our handmade 3-piece resin burners, the 2-piece set here, or the St. Michael Chaplet + Incense set.

Resin Incense Details:

Resin incense is a natural aromatic substance derived from natural resin gums, herbs, and other botanicals, and has been used worldwide for thousands of years. For more on why Catholics burn incense, watch this powerful explanation, “The Hidden Meaning of Incense w/ Fr. Boniface Hicks” video on Pints with Aquinas. We have selected each type of resin not only for its beautiful aroma but also for the spiritual meanings explained below.

St. Michael resin incense: St. Michael resin smells rich, resinous, and bold—reflecting the archangel’s strength and purity. When burned, it fills the air with a majestic, protective fragrance—often described as both reverent and invigorating, suitable for times of deep prayer or spiritual battle.

The scent of St. Michael resin is characteristically:

Notes: Hints of spice, amber, and wood—sometimes with touches of cinnamon, cedar, or floral resins
Aroma: Warm, smoky, and slightly sweet, evoking a sense of holiness, power, and heavenly mystery

Frankincense resin incense: Frankincense is bright, citrusy, and sweet. Its aroma evokes mourning, healing, and contemplation, fitting its symbolism of Christ’s suffering and sacrificial love. The Frankincense offered by the Magi to the Christ Child (Mt 2:11) symbolized His Divinity. Frankincense calls us to honor God with pure worship and to let our hearts be “set on fire” with prayer and devotion, with its sweet fragrance reminding us of the presence of the Holy Spirit and the sanctity of God’s dwelling.

The scent of Frankincense has notes that are:

Smoky, woody, and slightly spicy
A bit bitter but with a warm, balsamic sweetness

Myrrh resin incense: Myrrh has a deep, warm, resinous aroma—earthy, slightly bitter, and sweet at once, a solemn, grounding scent. In Scripture and Catholic symbolism, myrrh represents sacrifice, suffering, and healing—particularly in relation to Christ’s Passion. The Myrrh offered by the Magi to the Christ Child (Mt 2:11) symbolized his sacrificial death.

The scent of Myrrh is often described as:

Smoky and balsamic, with hints of spice and wood.
Less sweet than frankincense, with a more somber and meditative tone.
A scent that evokes reverence, mourning, and holiness—perfect for prayer, Advent, and Lenten liturgies

Frankincense & Myrrh resin incense: When burned as an incense blend, Frankincense & Myrrh adds a rich depth that enhances the sense of sacred mystery during Mass or personal prayer.
