With so many anointing oils available, how do you choose the right one for your spiritual practice? Each oil carries its own biblical significance and aromatic character. Here is a guide to help you select the perfect anointing oil for your prayer life.
Frankincense and Myrrh — The Gifts of Worship
Frankincense and myrrh were among the gifts brought to the infant Jesus by the Magi (Matthew 2:11).

Our Frankincense & Myrrh Anointing Oil is ideal for deep worship sessions, communion, and times of solemn prayer.
