Olibanum incense, also known as frankincense, is a type of resin that is commonly used in spiritual and religious practices. It is derived from the Boswellia tree, which is native to the Middle East and parts of Africa.
Olibanum incense has a rich and woody aroma, with a hint of citrus and spice. It is often used in meditation and prayer, as it is believed to have a calming and uplifting effect on the mind and body. In addition, it is used for purification and cleansing rituals, as it is believed to have purifying properties.
In ancient times, olibanum was considered a valuable commodity and was often used in trade. It was also used in religious ceremonies, particularly in the Middle East and Africa. In Christianity, it is said that the Three Wise Men brought gifts of frankincense, along with gold and myrrh, to the baby Jesus.
