Incense pouch - Our Lady of Despair - 15 pieces

A warm fragrance when the heart is seeking support

Sometimes we wish to pray but cannot find the words to express what weighs upon us. This Our Lady of the Forsaken cinnamon blossom incense invites you to pause and create an atmosphere conducive to silence. Its warm fragrance can accompany a request for guidance, prayer for someone close to you or the desire to begin again inwardly.

The packet contains 15 natural incense sticks, ready to use without charcoal. It depicts the richly dressed and crowned Virgin Mary holding the Child Jesus.

Who is Our Lady of the Forsaken?

This traditional Marian title is particularly associated with Valencia in Spain. The devotion developed during the 15th century around the care offered to abandoned, vulnerable and unsupported people.

Mary is honoured as a compassionate mother who remains close to those who feel lonely, lost or overwhelmed. Prayer does not deny life’s difficulties; it offers a way to entrust them sincerely and ask for the strength to discern the next step.

Her feast is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, although this incense can accompany personal prayer throughout the year.

Cinnamon blossom: a warm, enveloping fragrance
