That's when I discovered about "real" Church frankincense. Nobody said a thing about myrrh, but I'll ask next time I'm near (it's right next door to Annick Goutal!).carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-83946995274386194662008-06-08T06:24:00.000+02:002008-06-08T06:24:00.000+02:00Well, maybe it was just frankincense.

I only discovered the full glory of Catholic rites in Andalucia during the Holy Week, but only frankincense was burned.
