Glory to Jesus Christ!

For those of you with a burning (no pun) interest in the ecclesiastical history and use of incense I just finished writing a short monograph on the subject.

http://www.smellsbells.com/incense10.15.2011.pdf

While it's focused on the West I think Easterners would enjoy it as well. It might be of particular assistance to some in dealing with individuals who do not like the use of incense.

I would appreciate any feedback and questions are always welcomed. Thanks.

Glad you saw this, Rose, I was about to send you the link to it when I read your other post on the subject.

Many years,

Neil

Likewise, and very thankful that I read it before the link went dead. It is now displaying a 404 "not found" message.

Please just go to www.SmellsBells.com [smellsbells.com] and click on "incense booklet." I had to change the file name of the PDF for technical reasons...

Thanks again for all the wonderful comments. m One day I want to expand it with some more information on the Eastern Catholic use of incense...
