The three kings are reputed to have brought the baby Jesus gold, frankincense and myrrh. Frankincense has been burned for thousands of years, previously it was believed that the scent would repel illness and pestilence.  |

If we are questioning the fact that churches should not burn incense due to it's ties with Paganism then what about the 'Maypole' celebrations. Almost every church in the UK has a maypole, I am hard pushed to think of a more Pagan ceremony. |

No! Of course not! It's only for ceremonial uses if you want to use it as such..think of it as air freshener!  Im Pagan/Wiccan but I grew up in a Christian family  |

I dont burn them. and the ONLY reason I dont burn them is that I can find any "smells" that agree with my allergies. They all clog me up.  |

I have some Frankencence and Murr, and they are Incense. I do not burn them only because they remind me of the Gifts that was given to the Infant Jesus.  |

Personally the incense that the Catholics burn smells atrocious. I don't think there is anything wrong with burning incense per se but I have heard it has some "pagan" or as I like to think of it alternative meaning. *** bad kitty *** |
