5 out of 5 starsBeautiful work. Beautiful smell. An all around high quality product! I would definitely recommend it for home prayer table use. Plus it helps support the Monastery, and as a Benedictine monk myself, I strongly encourage you to purchase from a shop like this! God bless the Community at St. John's Monastery. I will be purchasing more in the future!

About StJohnsMonastery
What is so good or so joyous as for brethren to dwell together in unity. (Psalm 133:1)
Our Monastic Community struggles to preserve the authentic tradition of Athonite monasticism - a life of repentance, and obedience. Our obediences (daily work) are accompanied by continual prayer, and the motivation to please God through our small labors. We hope you enjoy our products and experience the blessedness of the Monastic way of life.
