AnswerThe story of the wise men bring presents, including frankincence, to Jesus makes a nice Christmas story for children. But a question, that seeks to establish factually just what form those presents took, must look at the facts more widely. Bishop Spong says that among the people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi (wise men) were not actual people. If the wise men were only a literary invention, then there was no frankincence.
