The reason their incense is not nicknamed "choir killer" is because they
role it in clay and not talc. It's the talc that destroys the lungs and
throat when you breathe it in.

This site has hand soaps made by the monks using milk from their own herd of goats.
Great for the restroom of your church or to use in your homes.

The monks pray the Jesus Prayer while making incense, soaps, etc.

These monastery icons are lovely prints glued onto wood (not pressed board). Originals can also be commissioned but are very expensive.
