Our Lady of Tears Resin Incense — Lavender

A lavender-forward resin incense honoring Nossa Senhora das Lágrimas, Our Lady of Tears, blended around lavender and refined essential oils.

The composition is built on lavender at a sustained 4/5 intensity — floral and contemplative, weighted enough for a sung rosary or a chapel of perpetual adoration. Lavender is the traditional flower of devotional sorrow in the Catholic imagination, and the blend leans into that register: the scent of a Marian vigil rather than a festal procession.

The title refers to the apparitions received in São Paulo, Brazil, by Sister Amália de Jesus Flagelado between 1929 and 1930. The Virgin appeared to the young religious weeping for sinners and entrusted her with the Chaplet of the Tears of Mary — a short rosary of seven decades prayed on the petitions "By your holy tears" and "Spare us, O Lord, deliver us, O Lord." The devotion was approved by the Archdiocese of São Paulo and spread quickly through Brazilian and Portuguese parishes, and the medal of Nossa Senhora das Lágrimas remains one of the more widely worn Marian sacramentals in Latin America.
