Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are the gifts of the Magi, or the three kings, who came to honor the birth of Jesus [Mt 2:11]. These beautiful American-made Ornaments are one-of-a-kind and sure to bring back the true meaning of Christmas.
Frankincense and myrrh are gum resins (or sap) from trees grown around northern Africa and Saudi Arabia. Frankincense was brought by Balthasar, the king from Ethiopia, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy that gold and frankincense brought by Gentiles would honor the heavenly king [Is 60:6]. Myrrh is a yellowish to reddish brown aromatic resin with a slightly pungent taste. We believe that Caspar brought the gift of myrrh from Europe (or Tarsus) for Christ.
Gold represents a gift fit for a king; frankincense is a symbol of Christ's divinity and His priestly role; Myrrh, which was common in medicine and embalming, symbolized Jesus the Great Physician, and the Passion. A small bag of frankincense and myrrh is included to allow the recipient to smell this unique fragrance.
