Our Lady of Guadalupe Mini Incense Kit

A mini devotional kit honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, pairing 0.7 oz of the Guadalupe resin incense with 6 quick-light charcoal tablets and mini tongs.

The blend keeps a refined, restrained character at a measured intensity, suited to the kind of long, sustained prayer the Guadalupe devotion has anchored across Latin America for nearly five centuries. The kit fits personal use on the December 12 feast, the Guadalupe novena, and the daily rosary that countless households in Mexico and the United States pray before her tilma image.

The Virgin appeared to the Nahua peasant Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin on the hill of Tepeyac outside Mexico City in December 1531, ten years after the fall of the Aztec empire. She left her image miraculously printed on his tilma — a coarse maguey-fiber cloak that survives today, displayed in the Basilica of Guadalupe and venerated by some twenty million pilgrims a year. Pope John Paul II canonized Juan Diego in 2002, and Guadalupe was named Patroness of the Americas in 1999.
