Frankincense was one of the three treasures given to Baby Jesus. Also known as olibanum, frankincense is actually a resin from the Boswellia sacra tree, which grows in the Dhofar area of Oman, as well as Yemen. Once exclusively reserved for kings and queens, Frankincense has been used in religious ceremonies and burial rituals for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians called it the Sweat of Gods.
