What is Frankincense?

Many know of Frankincense as one of the plant-derived treasures, along with myrrh, given to the newborn Jesus in the New Testament. Its use in a religious context goes beyond Christianity, however. According to the Hebrew Bible, frankincense and myrrh were components of the holy incense ritually burned in Jerusalem’s sacred temples during ancient times.

Frankincense is derived from the sap from a specific variety of trees in the genus Boswellia. Harvests are done at various times and the more opaque resins are considered to be the best quality.
