For a long time, a believer, in order to know the power and protection of God, not only turned to him in prayers, but also wore objects on his body that symbolized his unshakable faith. One of these items is a church amulet. This is a small box, handbag or leather pouch, inside of which incense, holy earth or other item is placed that protects its owner from life's difficulties.
In addition, this decoration is quite beautiful and original. At the same time, we must remember that this is not a simple accessory, but a talisman that protects a person from physical and spiritual torment, giving him faith and instilling hope for the best.

Incense, how to wear it correctly
Most often, this decoration, usually with the image of Jesus Christ, is hung around the neck on a cord of medium thickness. Sometimes this item is attached to clothing with a pin. But when choosing the latter method, you must adhere to the following rules:
- it must be secured so that it does not have the opportunity to get dirty;
- You cannot wear the amulet below the belt;
- Be careful - the pin tends to come unfastened.
But the main thing is that you must adhere to the church canon, always remembering that the amulet is worn around the neck. It should be as close to the human body as possible in order to protect it in any life situation.

What is it for?
Life situations are so diverse that it is possible to understand why an amulet is needed only in accordance with a specific case.
In everyday life, a person faces various threats:
- ecology and nutrition that have a negative impact on the body;
- stressful situations with their psychological impact on a person;
- the machinations of hostile otherworldly forces;
This talisman is one of the ways to counter the threats of the surrounding world, the ability to fight back against them.
Body amulet
Initially, this church item was aimed at protecting its owner from all sorts of misfortunes and was worn in most cases on the body (hence the name). Even during the times of Kievan Rus, every warrior who went on a campaign put on a talisman, where a piece of his native land lay. It was believed that he would protect him from the enemy, a stray bullet and any danger along the way.
It was worn by merchants. On the way, their caravans were often waylaid by robbers. And they really needed invisible protection. The amulet was also very popular among sailors. When going to sea (and this is a rather risky activity), each of them had this item with them.
Also, its contents were of particular importance to the owner of this decoration. The following were mainly placed inside the church amulet:
- a small icon depicting a saint, often a patron saint;
- a piece of relics;
- land;
- prayer text;
- incense.
It is important to remember that you can only give, donate or transfer it if you specifically purchased it for a specific person. The most powerful amulets are those that were given by close relatives.
It is not advisable to pass it on to other people under any circumstances. This is a very individual thing that only its owner can touch. Losing it is a bad omen. This means that the person has lost protection and support. Then you need to immediately go to the temple and turn to your saint with prayers and repentance.
What is an incense and why is it needed?
Incense is a kind of amulet that helps a person in everyday life. It is a small box or compact bag that protects from life's troubles, protects from the evil eye and bad people.
What it is made of does not matter, the main thing is that it is comfortable and gives joy.
Incense for women
Women prefer various images of the Virgin Mary, because she is the patron saint of mothers:
- “Seven Arrow” Mother of God: protects against the evil thoughts of other people;
- “Vladimirskaya”: helps resolve everyday difficulties;
- “Sign”: helps with various diseases;
- “Kazan” Mother of God: blesses for marriage;
- “Mammal” icon: protects a nursing mother.
Any icon of the Mother of God will suit every woman: it will give health, peace and tranquility, and most importantly, it will help fulfill her main mission on Earth - to become a mother and raise worthy children.
Both men and women need to understand how to wear an amulet. After all, this amulet has power only when it is treated with understanding and knowledge. If the person who wears the amulet truly believes in him, follows all the rules and adheres to the basic canons of the church, then the power of the saint depicted on it will only grow, thereby filling the life of its owner with meaning, love and hope.
The attitude of Christianity to amulets
The Orthodox Church is very wary of magical rites, rituals and amulets accompanying them.
The name of the talisman in question, although connected with church incense, however, neither the Bible nor other religious literature says anything about it. There are no decrees, resolutions or recommendations on this matter. Thus, the church does not prohibit, but also does not approve of the wearing of amulets
Prayers and even images of saints have no power if a person does not live according to the laws of God and violates church canons.
Christianity is, first of all, an immaterial faith that requires constant work on oneself, self-discipline and self-denial. In order to find grace, ward off evil spirits, get rid of passions and troubles on the path of life, a person needs to turn to the Almighty for help. The amulet simply supports us, as one of the symbols of faith.
Incense of Saints
The amulets that depict saints deserve special attention. Often people choose them by date of birth or name, thereby finding a great intercessor in the person of their guardian angel.
Knowledgeable people say that such church decorations themselves choose their owner, or rather his soul. When a person sees the face of a saint and at the same time feels calm and peaceful, it means that this saint himself chooses him. You just need to listen carefully to your heart.
Ladanka Mother of God
This is a universal amulet that suits absolutely everyone, because the Virgin Mary is the intercessor of all believers. She will help in any life situation, give strength and determination, and keep faith.
Manufacturing materials
The amulet is both a talisman and a stylish piece of jewelry. Accordingly, the materials from which it is made must meet certain canons.
Gold
It is believed that gold amulets themselves find their owner: if you feel calm and harmony when choosing, then this is exactly what you were looking for.
Silver
Silver amulets are preferred by men. This metal has a beautiful shine, does not cause allergies and fully meets the inclinations of those who prefer modesty and minimalism in jewelry. Silver is cheaper than gold and won't break your budget as much.
Leather
A leather talisman is a great option for those who like original works. Such an amulet can be decorated with pebbles and various Christian symbols embroidered on it.
Incense of Matrona of Moscow
Holy Matronushka gives her mercy to everyone who asks. People turn to her with any requests for help. Her strength is inexhaustible, and her faith is strong and unshakable.

What is a talisman (fundamental aspect)
Often we fail in life because we focus on incorrect, superficial concepts. So you are interested in how to make a talisman. And what is it? Try to determine it yourself, and we will help. Every person is a more energetic being than we are taught from school. We interact with the surrounding space through fields, absorb positive and negative, process, give strength or increase them. But people do not realize all this because of their upbringing and generally accepted attitudes. We were taught that the world is material. If there is no money, it means you didn’t earn money, the love is gone - it’s your own fault, and so on.
In fact, everything releases energy. But we spend it fighting minor factors, for example, gossip or dissatisfaction with management. To prevent energy from going into emptiness, it is necessary to fix it and tie it to a person. This is why a talisman is created. It can be defined as an external source of love that constantly, continuously cleanses the flow of energy passing through the owner. This is a kind of magic filter that enhances positive and weakens negative influences. And now about how to make a talisman with your own hands.
The life path of Matrona Nikonova
A girl was born into a peasant family in the Tula province, Tsarist Russia, in 1881. The girl was blind from birth, her parents wanted to leave her in an orphanage, but God did not leave Matrona, the mother had a prophetic dream that changed her decision. Until the end of her days, the woman loved her daughter very much.
Matrona discovered the ability to heal and foresee events from childhood. At the age of 7-8 years, Matrona helped the sick and mourning, healed people with prayers, the fame of the girl spread throughout the area. Worldly people began to come to the girl, asking for help, and as a sign of gratitude they left food for the parents, so the girl went from being a burden to becoming a wet nurse. At about 14 years old, the girl attended the service of St. John of Kronstadt, the Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called in the city of Kronstadt. John of Konstadt served in this cathedral for 53 years; during Soviet times, like many architectural and religious monuments, it was demolished.
At the age of 17, the girl lost the ability to walk; Matronushka spent the rest of her life sitting. She did not complain about her suffering and gratefully accepted all the difficulties she encountered. After the revolution, the girl was left homeless; she and her friend decided to look for a better life in the city. Since 1925, Matrona moved to Moscow, although she had older brothers, the girl lived wherever she went, among friends and acquaintances. The authorities persecuted church ministers. Most churches were closed during this period, church utensils were confiscated or looted, buildings were destroyed, and priests were exiled to camps and prisons. Matrona passed such a fate.
All the years she lived in Moscow, Matrona helped those in need; every day crowds of people came for help, up to 40 people a day. People came for advice, for healing, for guidance, Matrona did not refuse anyone. During the Great Patriotic War, Matrona did not leave Moscow. According to unverified information, the Leader of the people came for advice, but there is no documentary evidence of such a meeting. In 50 years 20 tbsp. Matrona moved to live in the Moscow region, where she died in 1952 in Skhodnya. The funeral service for the Matrona of Moscow took place in the Temple of the Venerable Robe of the Lord in the Assumption Cathedral in Moscow on Donskaya.
The temple was erected at the meeting place of the clergy of Moscow and the ambassador of the Persian Shah Abbas in 1690. The Shah gave the Robe of the Lord (part of the clothing in which Jesus was led to Calvary) as a gift to Emperor Mikhail Romanov. Matrona was buried in one of the largest cemeteries in Moscow, Danilovsky. Matrona herself indicated the burial place, closer to the temple, so that the service taking place in it could reach the place. For many years, pilgrims came with their requests and problems to Matrona’s grave.
On March 8, 1998, the remains of Matrona were transferred to the Moscow Danilov Monastery, then to the temple of the Intercession Monastery, and placed in a silver tomb. On May 2, 1999, the Venerable Matrona was canonized as a Moscow saint. The decision on church-wide canonization was adopted by the Holy Synod on August 17, 2004, a document on this was approved at the meeting of the Council of Bishops on October 6, 2004.
