{"product_id":"saint-benedict-of-nursia-resin-incense","title":"Saint Benedict Resin Incense — Storax","description":"\u003cp\u003eA full-bodied resin incense honoring Saint Benedict of Nursia, the father of Western monasticism, built around the warm, balsamic note of storax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend takes its character from storax — one of the most distinctive resins in the Western liturgical tradition — and carries it at a high 5\/5 intensity that fills a sanctuary with deep, sustained smoke. The black grains echo the Benedictine habit: a quiet visual cue for an order whose pattern of work and prayer has shaped Catholic liturgy and Western culture for fifteen centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Benedict was born around 480 in Nursia, Italy. He withdrew from Roman life as a young man to live as a hermit at Subiaco, eventually founding the great monastery of Monte Cassino in 529. His Rule — short, practical, and humane — became the foundation of Western monasticism and one of the most influential documents in European history. He was declared Patron of Europe by Pope Paul VI in 1964; his feast falls on July 11th, and the Saint Benedict Medal remains one of the most widely used Catholic sacramentals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntensity: 5\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScent notes: Storax (balsamic, warm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Italian-style resin incense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ora et labora\" (Pray and work) — the motto of the Benedictine tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milagros","offers":[{"title":"0.3oz","offer_id":44927535251654,"sku":"INC-SBE-003","price":4.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.7oz","offer_id":44927535284422,"sku":"INC-SBE-017","price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.8oz","offer_id":44927535317190,"sku":"INC-SBE-018","price":18.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.4oz","offer_id":44927535349958,"sku":"INC-SBE-044","price":27.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.6oz","offer_id":44927535382726,"sku":"INC-SBE-106","price":58.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17.6oz","offer_id":44927535415494,"sku":"INC-SBE-177","price":84.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"17.6oz (Zip)","offer_id":44927535448262,"sku":"INC-SBE-177-ZIP","price":81.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/5926\/2406\/files\/FamiliaSaoBento.jpg?v=1757022097","url":"https:\/\/clerousa.com\/products\/saint-benedict-of-nursia-resin-incense","provider":"Clero USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
