For the longest time, I thought frankincense was a Halloween-themed product made by like, Bath & Bodyworks or something. It was very confusing hearing Serious people get religious about it.
I only know it from Catholic Christmas mass when the clergy put it in a little brazier and swing it around the aisles. It smells really nice alongside the myrrh, like a campfire in a conifer forest.
In Spanish it’s just called “incienso” aka “incense”. I figured it’d be the same in English but it isn’t. I liked when the guy swung around the censer too. One of the only times I paid attention in church.
