This soap makes a perfect stocking stuffer. Many of our customers buy it for their pastor, priest or other church friends.

Guests are fascinated by it ... and love to tell their children about it. But the kids never seem the think that Frankincense are Myrrh would be particularly great gifts!!

Listing is for one thick hand cut bar of soap packaged and shrink-wrapped. Due to the nature of our handmade products, variations in size, color, scent, and/or form are expected - each soap is unique.

Frankincense & myrrh. Handcrafted with olive, coconut, palm & sweet almond oils. Gold mica and powdered sandalwood for color.

All DayBreak soaps are handcrafted from scratch in small quantities using traditional cold process methods. Our unique and luxurious formula starts with a large portion of skin-loving olive oil or virgin coconut oil and more -- all chosen for their lathering and cleansing properties. You will see some bars with rice bran oil for silky smooth skin, and lavish amounts of Ghanaian shea, cocoa, mango, and even aloe butters for their skin conditioning and therapeutic qualities. Some bars are formulated with goatsmilk. The result? A lush, creamy lather that gently cleanses and nourishes, leaving skin soft and silky.

Good cleansing bar. Removes odors so it makes a good kitchen bar. Very historical and gives you a little pause to think!

Hand soap, guest soap.

Handmade Soap Care: Feel free to cut your bars into chunks. They will keep forever. Store in dark, airy spot like a linen closet or lingerie drawer. Do not store in Ziploc or any kind of baggie or air tight container. Soap breathes! To help your handmade soap last as long as possible, keep in a well-drained soap dish and allow to dry between uses. If left standing in water or in a direct stream of water, the lifespan of the bar will be shortened.

As I researched the oils, I became fascinated with their role and use in Biblical times. Here's a bit of what I found out.

Gold of course is the tribute brought to a king. Essential oils were extremely precious and valuable in biblical times, equal to and more practical than gold, so bringing them to Mary was both practical and symbolic.

Symbolically, there is a verse in Exodus that has God telling Moses to craft a Holy Oil and Holy Incense from essential oils that were available ... both include Frankincense. So when the song mentions Frankincense, it's likely that what was brought was a blend of Holy Oil. And this oil of Frankincense was often used to annoint the newborn sons of kings. But Frankincense had a practial side as it was burned as incense, taken orally and applied to the skin.

On the practical side, Myrrh was the aspirin of biblical times with a spiritual spin. So, to bring Myrrh essential oil to a woman who had just given birth made great sense because it is a very healing oil and Mary would have known precisely how to use it. Myrrh is an antiseptic and she would have used it on the baby's new belly button and also good for healing coughs, colds and little cuts and bruises all boys seem to attract. She would have also known that Myrrh is good for stretch marks. She would have also known that myrrh promotes spiritual awareness and is emotionally uplifting. When rubbed on her body as a breast-feeding mother, it would communicate a sense of security and well being to both her and the child.

But if you read the lyrics (below) Myrrh also has a connotation of doom to it that comes from it's use in preserving and preparing bodies for burial. So many scholars feel this gift was also a prophecy of what was to come for the baby.

Why is none of this laid out or referred to in the Bible? That's the most interesting part to me ... because everyone knew it, these things were common knowledge of the day, and the Bible's writers could not imagine that 2,000 years later we westerners would have so little knowledge of and experience with healing oils.

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to rein

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

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

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes of life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heav'n replies

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Deep vermillion, gold and brown.
