Types of church oils
All fragrances from the church shop have a pleasant persistent, but unobtrusive smell. The fragrances are so harmonious that they not only do not distract from important thoughts, but also do not violate someone else's personal space.
There are fragrances with floral names, as if the manufacturers remind us of the diversity of our flora: Lily of the Valley, Gardenia, Lime Blossom. There are fragrances with the names of holy places: "Byzantium", "Athos", "Jerusalem". The names of the oils also mention the church holidays "Trinity", "Christmas", "Easter". There are smells with “fantasy” names such as “Paradise Bouquet”, etc.
Priest Evgeny Stupitsky:
“Orthodoxy is sympathetic to the use of spirits. It all depends on the purpose for which you will use this perfume. It's one thing to seduce and attract another individual of the opposite sex, it's another thing to exude a delicate aroma to be pleasant for your beloved spouse. And this is your choice: to become an object of temptation, using perfume, or not. Become an opponent of God, or be with Him together ... "
"Linden Blossom" exudes a honey smell of linden;
"Lily of the valley" - has a typical smell of May lily of the valley. It is very similar to the famous Silver Lily of the Valley perfume from the Novaya Zarya factory;
"Strawberry" smells like fragrant wild berries;
"Byzantium" wraps in warm incense smoke;
"Altai" oil with a herbal-balsamic accent;
"Needle" has a woody-resinous aroma.
Application
Like perfume on the skin
If incense is used as a perfume, then it is applied to the "pulse points" - behind the ears, neck, wrists. It should be remembered that the oil is consecrated and therefore it cannot be used for worldly purposes.
Fortunately, the clergy are tolerant of the aromas on the parishioners.
Archpriest Vyacheslav Bregeda:
“The Scriptures say, “the Sabbath is for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” So the rules are for the man, and not the man for the rules. As for spirits, here you should not get hung up on the fact that this is such a terrible sin. Even in the Holy Scriptures it is written, “that if we fast, then we did not seem to be fasting, on the contrary, anoint your body”, so that there is no feeling that you are in such despondency. That is, even the Holy Scriptures say that a person should take care of his appearance, look good and beautiful, not be somehow obsessed ... "
In lamp oil or on icons
In church shops, candlesticks also mention such a method as sprinkling icons with this fragrant oil, as well as adding it to lamp oil to aromatize rooms.
How to choose and light a lamp read in the article.
With a prayer for sore spots
Some grandmothers add oil to holy water, but most likely it is not recommended to do this, since the oil, although natural, is still not a medicine for oral administration.
as oil
Oil is called olive oil, and now any vegetable oil that is used in Orthodox church life. The clergy anoint the parishioners of the church with it at morning and evening services.
It is possible to use church incense at home during prayer to prepare your thoughts and feelings for turning to God. If church oil is used as oil, then it should be applied to the body crosswise with reverence and prayer (preferably: "Our Father..."). The oil must be applied with clean hands or with a cotton swab.
In aroma lamps
Many people use oils in aroma lamps to create a “cosiness and warmth” aroma at home.
Archimandrite Alipiy (Svetlichny):
“The Church has not usurped the right to own certain smells. People can also light lamps and burn incense in their homes so that the whole family can tune in to prayer, because the family is a small Church. And if one of the perfumers uses in their works the smells of incense and other aromas that we hear in the Church, then there is nothing wrong with that. Not the smells themselves are endowed with a sacred meaning, but in what conditions and for what they are used ... "
An aroma lamp is a clay or ceramic vessel with a bowl - an aroma burner and with a recess under it for a candle. Water is poured into the bowl, to which a few drops of aromatic oil are added. Incense should not be used without water, as the oil can simply catch fire under the influence of an open flame.
A candle is used household paraffin or stearic. Then it is not so easy to remove such a melted candle, but you can pre-lubricate the “window” for the candle with petroleum jelly and, when the candle melts and hardens, it is easy to remove it.
Our store sells church incense from Russia and Greece. Contains only trunnion components. Incense consecrated.

The church ceremony of lighting candles and lamps is very ancient. Christians always had a fire before the Gospel, not for the convenience of reading, but as the personification of unity with the heavenly powers, as a particle of the eternal fire of Jesus Christ.
Lighting a candle in front of the icon is a tribute to love and respect for the Lord. In the residential buildings of Tsarist Russia, icon lamps were always burning in front of the faces of saints or rich icon cases, which were a special lamp - church oil was poured into it. This name from the 5th century BC meant a flammable liquid obtained from olive trees. Its second name is oil. For thousands of years, the oil from the fruit of this tree alone has been used for the needs of the church. It is environmentally friendly, burns without residue, without forming tar. Of course, one of the main purposes of a burning lamp is to purify the air from filth. But the oil, which has strong healing properties, can also kill germs.
Scents of Church Oil
As a rule, aromas are present in oil. About himself and about the fragrant healing herbs filling him as the best gift, it was said in the Bible. There is a specially recommended set of herbs added to fir trees for smell. Church oil, that is, olive oil, is of the highest standard - Provencal - and more common, known as "wood". The icon lamp is a lamp with a floating wick; most bowls have a partition to fix it. The number of sayings, poems and synonyms for this word speaks about its meaning in Russian life - oleinik, zhirnik, kaganets, lamplighter. To light a lamp is literally and figuratively to turn the soul to God. Putting it out means finishing the job. So the church oil itself, or oil, was overgrown with proverbs, sayings and legends about its miraculousness.
The Importance of Oil in the Mystery of the Anointing
Church oil is used not only for lighting lamps. One of its most important functions is anointing, the greatest Sacrament of Catholicism and Orthodoxy, a sign of the transfer of God's grace to the person over whom this rite is performed. Oil is part of the Holy Myrrh - a product necessary for chrismation, in which, in addition to the church oil itself, there are from 34 to 74 elements. Due to the antiquity of the rite, the origin of some of the ingredients is already unknown, however, in Orthodox churches, when making Chrism, clergy try to deviate minimally from divine recipes. The church oil itself is always supplemented with a number of traditional incense - myrrh, sandalwood and frankincense (the resins of trees that have been growing on the Arabian Peninsula since ancient times), nard - the roots of plants of the valerian family (he was mentioned in his Song by Solomon), rose and other fragrant substances. The smell when burning lamp oil is simply divine! The communion of a new person to the Church begins with the Sacrament of Baptism and ends with the Sacrament of Confirmation. Thus, oil in the church rite plays a dominant role.
Modern substitutes
In the Soviet Union during the years of atheism, expensive olive oil for church needs was completely discontinued from the countries where these trees grow. The clergy were forced to use some substitutes that had passed the rite of consecration. Now this problem has been completely removed, but another one has arisen - modern surrogates are persistently offered. The main one is vaseline oil, "liquid paraffin". In some respects, it surpasses church oil - oil of divine origin. However, its effect in the combustion process is not fully understood. In the rites of Orthodoxy, vaseline oil is often used, although this violates cult canons. It is strictly forbidden to use poor quality technical oil to light lamps, because this is associated with a threat to the health of believers.
