Protestant and Reformed Churches Reject Incense

Many Reformed and Protestant theologians have come to reject not only the elaborately decorated nature of Catholic churches but also the use of incense in religious rituals. The use of scents, candles, and incense is now increasingly considered sacrilege and as a result the demand for all types of incense that for over a thousand years have pulled frankincense and myrrh from the east to Europe has finally begun to decrease.
