Does anyone know what frankincense is?
I need to know for a study guide.
Sure its incense made by a guy named Frank.
His wife Myrrh makes a different kind.

It is one of the three kingly gifts that the New Testament says the Magi brought to the Christ child (along with myrrh and gold.)
~ from "We Three Kings of Orient Are"
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Pray’r and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
~ traditional Christmas carol

11 And when they [the three Magi] were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
~ Matthew 2:11
