Lavender, Cypress & Sandalwood Scent
This “woody” incense is a combination of sandalwood, cypress and lavender. Biblically, sandalwood was another of the “spices” used by the Jews in burial. The cypress tree is one of the tallest trees to be found in the Holy Land, so for the Jews it was a symbol of striving towards Heaven and eternal life. This was why Solomon used cypress to build the first temple. Lavender is a floral scent, known well for its calming effects. We named this incense combination after the Holy Cross. The Cross is a symbol of death (sandalwood) transformed by Christ’s sacrifice into a symbol of eternal life (cypress). Its strong wood undertones are sweetened by the Lavender: “Sweet the wood, sweet the nails, sweet the load that hangs thereon” (from hymn of Mass of the Holy Cross). It was through Christ’s Cross that we are given the promise of peace and eternal happiness in Heaven.
