I remember the first time I ever heard of Frankincense. It was at Christmas, and it was described as one of the gifts given to the infant Jesus by the Three Wise Men. I was curious: What is Frankincense, and why was it so precious?
As it happens, Frankincense is an extremely valuable substance rumored to be more valuable than gold in ancient times. No wonder the Wise Men brought it along to the Holy Family.
