A censer (θυμιατό) is a sacred vessel used in Orthodox Christian worship to burn incense. Symbolizing the prayers of the faithful rising to heaven, it plays a vital role in services like the Divine Liturgy, Vespers, Matins, and funerals.
The censer holds charcoal and incense, and is swung by the priest or deacon to bless the altar, icons, clergy, and congregation. The rising smoke signifies purification and the presence of the Holy Spirit, while its bells announce moments of holiness.
Crafted in silver, brass, or gold, censers are used in processions and blessings, making them a powerful symbol of reverence and prayer in Orthodox worship.
