Fronkincense, Myrrh
Were Precious Gifts

ing frankincense pervades
church services. But by and
large the demand for these
two commodities is slight today,
even In the Arab world.
Frankincense and myrrh are
aromatic gums taken from
thorny desert shrubs and trees
which grow only on the arid
stcppes of Southern Arabia and
the Somalilands. TribeSmen in
Arabia still tap the trees and
exc out a meager income from
selling the gums.
Why was there such a great
demand for frankincense and
myrrh in antiquity?
The answer lies in the way
of life Of the ancient Near
East, when religious rites played
a much bigger role than to-
day. These rituals usually were
elaborate spectacles and en-
orlnous quantities of incense
were burned.
Both frankincense and myrrh
were widely used as medicines
by the ancients, to cure every
thing from paralysis to eye
diseases. The fragrant gums
also were used in cosmetics
and perfumes. lotions and oint-
ments, mummification and en-
balming.
