Bkhor
We ,in Saudi Arabia, always use special perfume Named in Arabic as a Bkhor and in English I think it named as incense. It is the type of wood taken from a special kind of trees. Usually we bring it from east Asia. It has a good smell. We use it in weddings and we also use it for a newborn shower party or when guests come to the house . We take a little incense and put it over hot coals and then smoke comes out of it with a great smell. We use it all the time with every celebration we have. We also consider it as a great gift we can give to others. Some of the incense are very expensive and some of it is cheap, this depends on the kind and quality of the material and the tree from which extracted.
Here is some Photos to this tradition:
Mona,
ReplyDeleteThat is very interesting! We were supposed to write about a tradition or holiday, but you wrote about something used in holidays in your country- which is fine!
Can you describe the smell? Does it have any special meaning, like luck?
