A lovely scene, and perfect timing. Epiphany is also Twelfth Night, (for me, today) and this, being the twelfth day of Christmas, is the last evening for me to enjoy my Christmas tree! Going under my own rules, if the tree is still up tomorrow, and it will be, as I'm working all week, I won't light it anymore. What a lovely reminder of the specialness of today! Blessings to you! If you find odd facts interesting, here are some facts about the gifts brought by the magi. Frankincense and myrrh are both resins -- dried tree sap -- that come from trees of the genus Boswellia (frankincense) and Commiphora (myrhh), which are common to Somalia. The way that people collect the sap is similar to the way people collect rubber-tree sap or pine-tree sap. Cutting the tree's bark causes the sap to ooze out of the cut. The sap used to create both frankincense and myrrh comes slowly and is allowed to dry on the tree. The hardened sap is collected and used as frankincense and myrrh. Both in the time of the three wise men and today, frankincense and myrrh are commonly used to create incense. You mix frankincense with things like spices, seeds and roots to create different aromas. Traditionally, you burn the powdered incense with charcoal in a censer or on a small stand.
