Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh Props
What are frankincense and myrrh, anyway?
Both come from tree sap (resin). Used for beauty, religious and medicinal purposes, they each have their own distinctive fragrance. They’re burned as incense and used in perfumes and oils. (In ancient days, they were also used in embalming the dead.) Frankincense smells sweet, with a pine, lemon and dry woody aroma. Myrrh has a darker, damp wood scent.
You can still get them today! Once available only to the rich, they are now found as essential oils and as fragrance in perfumes and candles.
There are various theories on the significance of the Magi bringing gold, frankincense and myrrh, one being that the three gifts symbolize three aspects of Jesus — His Kingship (gold), His Priesthood (frankincense), and His Death (myrrh).
