What does it mean to breathe incense. Breathe incense. What is incense made from?

I love to parse different phrases, expressions and signs. Today I was stuck precisely on this phrase: Breathe incense.

Where did the phrase "breathe" come from? ( This is the first time I'm hearing about this) We often use it, but we don’t even suspect that it is just an onomatopoeia of the old “breathe incense”. A very old expression. Initially, this phrase was used to describe the state of a dying or hopelessly ill person, standing with one foot, you know where. It was only about the person. But time passed, and the expression was also applied to items that are used in everyday life, but their service life, by all visible signs, is on the verge of expiration. But, since, unlike a person, a broken thing can always be tried to be repaired or repaired, then, probably, this is where the impostor word “adjustment” appeared, which, in fact, breathes - that is, lives - this or that object.

This is the first version of the origin of the winged expression. But let's get back to the old-fashioned "breathe in the middle." Where did incense come from as the smell of death? Frankincense is an aromatic resin. It is isolated by some plants of the cistus and burzer families. Even in ancient times, the southwestern region of Dhofar, Oman, was known as an important center for the frankincense trade. It is there, on a rocky high-mountain plateau, that the trees covered with legends grow. An ancient legend says that the nymph Levkotoya was turned into this tree. Once, the sun god Helios fell in love with her so much that he violated the order of the universe.

Unable to endure the torments of love, he took the form of mother Levkotoya and late in the evening appeared to his beloved. As soon as the maids left, Helios turned into a beautiful young man and confessed everything to Levkoth. The nymph could not refuse the great god. Their love was witnessed by the jealous Clitia, who told Father Levkotoya about everything. To protect his daughter from further attacks, he hid her in the grave. The whole next day, Helios was looking for his beloved. And having guessed what had happened, he tried in vain to revive her with the power of his rays and fragrant nectars. “You will still reach the ether,” exclaimed the frustrated Helios. And a miracle happened - decay turned into an incense tree, its aroma rose to heaven, and a connection was established between the three worlds. In ancient times, incense mined in Dhofar was called Sakhalit - after the name of the bay.

It was probably either the Oman or the Gulf of Aden. Due to the high amount of fog in the area, there is a legend that incense is the dew that falls on the trees. For centuries, incense has been transported overland from Dhofar. One path went to Egypt, and the other - to the east, to Babylon and Syria. By the time the cargo reached its destination, its value had increased sixfold. Therefore, the Egyptians sought to blaze this path themselves, getting rid of intermediaries, and even brought seedlings to plant them in Egypt. The first known expedition of the Egyptians for incense was sent about 3,000 years before the birth of Christ. This means that incense has been used as an incense for five thousand years...

Frankincense was for the ancient Omanis what oil is for us today - the most important export commodity and source of wealth. Camel caravans went from Oman to the Mediterranean coast. From here merchants brought fragrant resin to Europe. At some point, the clergymen of the Christian church liked the smell emitted by it during combustion, and they began to use it everywhere in worship. Thus, the smell of incense has become an integral part of the church service, and it is in connection with this that the saying "is afraid as the hell of incense" arose.

The ritual of preparing the deceased for the funeral and the funeral itself never did without a censer with incense, and the aroma acquired sinister associations in its range. But incense has been highly valued for thousands of years for its healing properties, described in mysterious legends. And no wonder - today it has been scientifically proven that it has healing properties: it promotes hair growth, heals wounds, in combination with rose oil it heals ears and softens coughs. And incense was brought to the dying man with the hope that a miracle would happen, and if not, then at least he would feel better. So, "to breathe in the last breath" means to try to return to life from non-existence.

PhD in Philosophy Olga MARKINA

Let's consider the phraseological unit "breathe incense". We will reveal its meaning today. Let's talk about the origin and give examples.

Origin

The reader must have been in church. And he remembers quite clearly the sweetish smell that permeated the whole room. That's right. And it all started a long time ago. This smell was pleasant to the priests, and since then many of the rites of God's temple began to include this resin. Yes, yes, this is the resin of the plant of the same name. In order not to confuse the reader, let's say that if you ever come to Yemen and Oman as a tourist, you will definitely stumble upon something that is associated with the smell of your native church.

And since the smell of wood resin is strongly associated with the church, not only in the minds of believers, but also in essence, it is not difficult to unravel the expression “breathe incense”, the meaning of which we are analyzing. Not only bright rites are performed with the scent of incense, but also sad ones. For example, those that anticipate a person's journey to a better world.

Meaning

The reader is probably exhausted and thinks: “Well, when will the meaning of the expression “breathing incense” become known?!”. Calm, just calm. All who suffer will find the goodness of knowing the truth. A little patience. So, the stable phrase “breathe in the air” (the meaning follows below) indicates that someone is about to move to a better world, that is, to die. In this case, the prophecy may not come true, but the person may look pretty bad.

Synonyms

Semantic analogues are a real help, especially when it comes to such a phenomenon as phraseological units. Some of them are difficult to understand the first time. Let's think about how you can replace the meaning of "breathe incense." So:

to be barely alive
feel very bad;
to be in a deplorable state;
stand with one foot in the grave;
the days are numbered;
lie on his deathbed.

All synonyms, like phraseologism, say that a person is about to appear before the Creator, but, however, this may be an erroneous judgment, a false idea.

There is one very remarkable illustration in this sense. In the movie The Godfather: Movie Two, there is a character named Hyman Roth. He always behaves as if he has one foot in the grave, and he himself is plotting evil against Michael Corleone. What does it teach? Because looks are deceiving.

Not only people, but also objects

But if the reader thinks that they only talk about hopelessly ill people, then this is only part of the truth. In fact, objects are also characterized in this way now. For example, old cars that are about to be ordered to stay happily or live long. All these expressions are similar in meaning to the meaning of the phraseological unit "breathes its last".

When a building is in disrepair, for example, a house that has not been overhauled for several decades: the roof is leaking, the paint on the facade has peeled off, and the steps, if they are wooden, crack and creak under the weight of the residents and their guests.

About such a structure, one can also say that it is breathing its last, and not to sin against the truth.

In other words, the expression has a wide range of applications and denotes something in an extremely deplorable state, or what seems to be.

BREATHE ON INCENSE - MEANS TO BE TREATED.

Breathing incense means healing. - He is afraid not only of the devil, but also of the disease.
At the Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, they uncovered the secret of the legendary incense, repeatedly mentioned in the Old Testament, and ... were surprised by its properties.

It is called the fragrance of the Sun, symbolizing universal grace. We are talking about incense - an ancient incense, repeatedly mentioned in the Old Testament. Frankincense is also mentioned in the gospel traditions: one of the three biblical wise men brought resin as a gift to the baby Jesus in recognition of his divinity. In the Christian liturgical tradition, it is this incense that is burned during every worship service. Scientists drew attention to the fact that since ancient times, incense was also considered a medicine. Specialists of the N. N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences undertook to unravel the healing properties of that same biblical incense.

RECIPE ON TESTAMENT.

In numerous recipes for making incense, there is always the resin of the frankincense tree, which grows in Arabia, East Africa and India. It is interesting that there is no officially recognized method of preparing frets. Many Orthodox monasteries have their own recipes that are kept secret. Sometimes in church use, incense is also generically called other aromatic resins that are used during worship.

Frankincense tree.

To find out which incense recipe is truly biblical, and therefore miraculous, chemists decided to reread the Old Testament.
The canonical text read: “And the Lord said to Moses: take for yourself fragrant substances: stakti, onych, fragrant and pure halvan halvan, all equally, and make of them the art of making up the suit of a smoking composition, worn out, pure, holy, and finely pounded, and lay it before the ark of revelation in the tabernacle of meeting, where I will reveal myself to you: it will be a great sanctuary for you ... ”(Second Book of Moses. Exodus, chapter 30).

The researchers concluded that the biblical incense consisted not of one, but of four components.

Pure Lebanon (incense tree resin).

It was necessary to understand what components were meant by the names "stakti", "onyha", "fragrant halvan" and "pure Lebanon". But it turned out to be not so easy to understand this: due to discrepancies and linguistic inconsistencies, completely different substances could have the same name.

Stact tree.

For a whole year, scientists studied this issue, shoveled tons of medical literature and ancient medical records, and eventually found out that pure Lebanon is the resin of the frankincense tree. Stakti is the Greek name for a substance denoting the pure fragrant myrrh that flows from the styrax tree. It is made up of resin and gum (a wood glue that appears on buds and bark cuts). In another way, stacti is called myrrh. Styrax trees are found mainly in the south of the Arabian Peninsula and in Ethiopia.

Myrrh resin.

The next component, fragrant halvan, as it turned out, has another name since ancient times - galbanum. These are granules of frozen milky juice that stands out on cuts and cracks in the stems and rhizomes of perennial plants of the umbrella family Ferulagummosa and Ferularubricaulis. In addition to the Old Testament, galbanum is also mentioned in Egyptian papyri. Ancient doctors endowed it with analgesic, antispasmodic and diuretic properties.

Halvan fragrant (galbanum).

Milky juice of galbanum.

But most of all, scientists had to tinker with a substance called onycha. Translated from Greek, this word means "nail", in Aramaic translation - "tufra", also "nail". This word had several interpretations, so scientists had to conduct a serious linguistic study to find out the only true meaning. As a result, they came to the conclusion that onycha is nothing more than a shell of a spiral shell of a special type of mollusk that lives in the Red Sea. Chemists have found that its leaves, ground into a fine powder, have been used in medicine since ancient times.

HEALTH MIX.

Having collected all four components, the specialists set about making miraculous incense. All components were brought from the areas of their historical origin. Scientists ground shells and resins, mixed them in equal proportions (as indicated in the text of the Old Testament).

The resulting mixture was tested on experimental animals: two independent experiments were carried out with an interval of a month. Laboratory rats were infected with artificial peritonitis and divided into two groups of 10 individuals. After that, one group was fumigated with the resulting incense for 15 minutes, and the second group was the control. As a result, in both experiments, four and five animals from the first group, respectively, survived, and in the control groups, all rats died.

The result amazed the scientists. Biblical incense, in its essence, turned out to be the most powerful immunomodulator, that is, a substance that can affect the immune system. Moreover, it is many times superior in properties, for example, honey or cranberries. But why does it have such miraculous properties?

Further research by chemists somewhat clarified the situation: it turns out that when all the components were combined, a new homogeneous mixture arose with very special properties.

With the help of a spirit lamp, the experimenters sublimated la-dan at the bottom of the glass. And above the container, an optical microscope slide was installed - particles of the evaporating substance settled on it. After 15 minutes, the glass was examined under a microscope with a thousandfold magnification and found that a plaque had formed on the surface with particles, each of which was a micron in size or less. But when they did the same with each individual component of incense, then such small particles were practically not observed. If the constituents were sublimated individually, granules ranging in size from 5 to 30 microns were formed.

All this largely explains the miraculous properties

Aerosols and smoke with particle sizes of microns or less can hang in the air for a long time without settling. If such a suspension is sprayed once in a room, then it can hang in the air for a day - this creates a mode of constant inhalation. That is, incense is able to affect the body for a long time.

It is quite possible that it was this property that was taken into account when the patients were fumigated with incense. In the room where the sick person was, aerosols, as the personification of light forces, filled the entire space, displacing evil forces, and, in our opinion, viruses and microbes.

In addition, particles smaller than a micron are able to freely enter the alveoli of the lungs. Particles larger than a micron collide with the walls of the trachea and do not reach the alveoli. Substances are absorbed into the blood in the alveoli. The ingestion of particles of "biblical" incense into the body can be compared with intravenous administration, when the substance acts instantly, and enters the body evenly over a long time. When individual elements of incense are burned, this does not happen.

NON-RANDOM COMBINATION.

How could such a high-tech substance be obtained in Old Testament times? Scientists are sure that it is impossible to accidentally combine all four rare components.

Moreover, it is not clear how our distant ancestors guessed to describe this composition as the only true one, although they did not know those fundamental principles on which the action of incense is based.

After all, the biological properties of aerosols with submicron particle sizes were discovered only at the end of the last century. The Old Testament was written from the 13th to the 1st century BC.

However, the fact is obvious: in ancient times, mankind received a recipe for a powerful universal immunomodulator. And the one who discovered it had incomprehensible knowledge in the field of physiology, physics and chemistry.

TREATS THE BODY AND SOUL.

The strong sweet balsamic smell of incense is familiar to everyone who has ever been to a church service. What miraculous properties does the source of this fragrance have?

Frankincense heals wounds, helps in the treatment of various diseases of the respiratory system, and rejuvenates the skin.

The smoke of incense contains substances that have an antidepressant effect. In ancient Babylon, incense was supposed to purify the soul. Today, frankincense essential oil is produced, which really helps to cope with stress and nervous exhaustion, eliminates fears, anxieties, and insomnia.

About cherubic incense (unburned pieces of incense that remain in the censer after walking during the performance of the Cherubic song) in the old days they said that it not only relieves ailments, but also helps in treasure hunting.
