For example, the word derives from the French franc, meaning luxuriant. Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as holy incense and used it in face masks. They also ground the burnt resin into kohl to highlight the eyes, which appears in Egyptian art. Over time, frankincense became a symbol of divinity and continues to be used in meditation and ceremonial practices today.
