The First Gifts of Christmas


The First Gifts of Christmas
Gold, Frankincense And Myrrh

"And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh." Matthew 2:11

2,000 years ago, Frankincense and Myrrh were precious beyond the value of gold. Their healing powers were viewed then as "magical" - A wisdom of healing so profound, it has only been rediscovered recently. Read more about the 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture.

Frankincense was The Holy Anointing Oil, a cure all. It was used to anoint the new born sons of kings and priests. Today we know that the monoterpenes abundantly present in Frankincense reprogram cellular memory and thus promote permanent healing of human afflictions.

Mary would have particularly smiled about the gift of Myrrh knowing that it was also meant for her and not just for the babe. She would have known that she could rub it on her abdomen to remove stretch marks. That Myrrh was to be rubbed on the umbilical cord of the newborn child to facilitate healing and prevent infection. That the smell of myrrh would promote a feeling of peace and security.
