It has the following symbolisms:
1. Incense primarily symbolizes prayer, which ascends to God. It is the momentum of the soul upwards. And at the same time it symbolizes our fervent desire for our prayer to be accepted.
2. With incense we ask the Lord to send us his holy grace. That is why the faithful, when the Priest reminds them, slightly bow their heads in a sign of acceptance of this grace.
3. The fragrant incense also symbolizes the blood, which is addressed to God. The burning of incense means worship and atonement. And the pleasant feeling, created by the aroma of incense throughout the space, means the filling of our hearts by the divine pleasure, which is the fruit of our love for God.
4. The incense burner, where the coals are burned and the incense is placed, symbolizes the belly of the Most Holy Theotokos, who received the Deity physically in her womb, without being damaged or altered. "The incense burner means Despina, the Virgin Mary. As the coals are in the incense and do not burn, so Despina the Virgin received Christ and did not burn, but in fact was enlightened ". The incense we offer at the time of prayer helps to elevate the soul to the heights.Just as incense heated by coal ascends to the fragrance of the environment, so the soul of the believer in warm faith must flutter upwards fragrant, unhooked by material cares.
5. The base of the censer indicates the humanity of Christ, the fire His divinity and the fragrant smoke "informs" us of the preceding fragrance of the Holy Spirit.
