A biblical incense kit built around the gifts the Magi presented at the Nativity: 0.7 oz of pure Olibanum, 0.7 oz of Myrrh, a golden ceramic burner standing for the gold, 6 quick-light charcoal tablets, and tongs.
Each resin is presented separately so the gifts can be burned individually or together. Olibanum — frankincense — carries the offering of priesthood and the act of prayer rising before God. Myrrh, used in Jewish burial rites, foreshadows the Passion. The golden burner completes the visible language of Matthew's account: gold for kingship, frankincense for divinity, myrrh for the death and resurrection.
The Three Wise Men appear in Matthew's Gospel as visitors from the East who followed a star to Bethlehem and presented their gifts to the Christ Child. Tradition gave them names — Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar — and assigned each a continent in a story the Church kept alive through medieval art and the Epiphany liturgies. The kit fits Christmas and Epiphany devotion at home or in a parish setting.
