The word incense is derived from the Latin word, 'incensus' which means to cause a passion or emotion to become aroused.
The powerful fragrant scent of incense is supposed to purify the mind, body and spirit. During religious rituals and other ceremonies the scent rising upwards is supposed to take our prayers, requests and gratitude towards heaven.
