Frankincense & Myrrh conjures up Biblical images of three kings taking gifts for baby Jesus but now a modern day merchant is an expert in the fragrant resin. The burning of Frankincense or Lubaan in Arabic is an ancient tradition practised by many religions to welcome guests, make the house smell nice and even for medicinal purposes. Zhaier Fareed travels around the northwest with his fragrance. On Radio Manchester and Lancashire's Indus show Talat-Farooq Awan caught up with him to ask about this age old practice.
