Origin & Lore

Frankincense comes from Boswellia trees and myrrh from Commiphora trees, both growing in southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa. Burned together they were the incense of temples from Egypt to Jerusalem to Rome. This oil brings the pairing into a wearable form for prayer, blessing and offerings.

Frankincense and myrrh were two of the three gifts the Magi brought to the infant Jesus, and both were already precious temple incenses for thousands of years before that.

The Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut sent an expedition to the land of Punt around 1470 BCE, and the reliefs at her temple at Deir el-Bahari show incense trees being carried back in baskets. Myrrh was used in Egyptian embalming, and the Book of Exodus gives a recipe for holy anointing oil that includes myrrh.
