GOLD, FRANKINCENSE and myrrh. Three treasures worthy of a new-born King.
Frankincense is an aromatic resin obtained from trees belonging to the genus Boswellia. These trees grow in India, northern Africa and the Middle East. A slit is made in the bark of the trees, out of which the gummy resin exudes. This is allowed to harden or can be extracted to yield a purified resin.
