Hi all i just wanted to ask is it ok to burn incense after sundown, this is what i have been taught!!!!!
Welcome to the board. I am curious as to what the pretext is to this question? There must be some interesting context to this question.pinkbutterfly79 said:Hi all i just wanted to ask is it ok to burn incense after sundown, this is what i have been taught!!!!!
So you're saying that the sensor is sensitive to the incense from your censer?Arachne said:I'm lucky the fire alarm is downstairs, while the icon corner is upstairs. The sensor is ridiculously sensitive. :-\
I haven't put it to the test, but considering its reaction to grilling sausages, it would go absolutely berserk.Antonis said:So you're saying that the sensor is sensitive to the incense from your censer?

This is very common in many Orthodox countries, for pious people to offer incense one or a couple times a day, blessing each room and person in the house with it. Like having icons in the house, it sanctifies the place.pinkbutterfly79 said:To Armithea, i was just curious cause all my life my mom or grandma would always incense the house but always before the sunset, and i see other people doing it but always before the sun sets, i was brought up with the knowledge that you don't incense after the sunset, but now that i am learning more about Orthodoxy just felt like asking the question. . .
Your smoke alarm must be a vegan low church Protestant.Arachne said:I haven't put it to the test, but considering its reaction to grilling sausages, it would go absolutely berserk.Antonis said:So you're saying that the sensor is sensitive to the incense from your censer?

Yeah, I should really put the fire alarms back up.Kerdy said:I was able to burn incense at will when I had my man cave in the garage. Now that I have moved and no longer have a garage, I am unable to burn incense. It sets off the fire alarm. :-[
Our smoke alarm trips whenever there is a large solar flare or X-flare. Even C-flares from the sun have tripped the sensor and we hear bleeps from the hallway censor. Does anyone else have a smoke alarm that is sensitive to solar flares and X-flares? During this time of never ceasing sunspots, we are often awaken in the wee hours of the mornings. Wish there were some way to disconnect that thing, but that would be illegal.Antonis said:So you're saying that the sensor is sensitive to the incense from your censer?Arachne said:I'm lucky the fire alarm is downstairs, while the icon corner is upstairs.

Why? It's still smoke.Fr.Aidan said:Key to whether the alarm goes off, is the size of the particulates. It doesn't follow, from smoking sausages making it go off, that a home censer would have the same result.
So I've been told.
