Considered a holy oil in the Middle East, Frankincense has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It is mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian scroll from approximately 1500 BCE that documents its use. Frankincense is referenced 52 times in the Bible. Its English name is derived from the medieval French word “franc,” meaning pure or free, and the Latin word “incensium,” meaning to smoke.
