The Catholic Company rediscovers 2,000-year-old gift.

Charlotte, NC – November 6, 2006 – Each Christmas we try to cross that one person who’s impossible to shop for off our shopping list, by getting them the most expensive, interesting thing we can find. Well, this Christmas, provide them with a quality gift that has been known as the perfect gift for over 2,000 years. The original Christmas present…Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. This Christmas Season the Catholic Company introduces an unconventional, yet traditional gift that will be sure to make its way into hearts and homes for generations to come.

Most Christians are familiar with the story of the Birth of Jesus. Included in that story is the journey of the three kings who followed the star of Bethlehem to find the newborn baby Jesus, King of the Jews. They arrived bearing gifts, the three most important of which were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The gold signified that He is a true king, the frankincense that He is the true God, the myrrh that He was also mortal (human). Christmastime often means Christmas trees with a star on top signifying the star of Bethlehem that led the wise men to Jesus, a Nativity set showing the humble beginnings of the Lord and often including Magi figurines, but now you too can display the royal gifts presented by the Wise Men and truly prepare your home to be “fit for a King”.

These gift sets of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh come in a small one box set, a large one box set, or a large three box set. Start a new tradition this year by displaying the original gifts of Christmas. These sets are available at http://www.catholiccompany.com/display_results.cfm?AID=1074&new=yes&search_string=frankincense while supplies last.
