Henna is known today as the source of a popular red dye. The sweet, strong fragrance of its white flowers was much appreciated. In the Song of Songs, the woman compares her Beloved to a Henna shrub, and the red dye has been sometimes considered a symbol of Christ's blood. In Middle Eastern traditions, it is still customary to paint beautifully the hands of the bride, and mark those of wedding guests, with Henna

Myrrh, Cinnamon, Cassia and Calamus are the 4 aromatic ingredients God instructed Moses to blend with olive oil for the making of sacred anointing oil, Exodus 3023-33. This perfumed oil, symbol of the Holy Ghost, was used to honor kings and prophets, consecrate priests, and designate objects for holy purposes. Many Christian churches still use holy anointing oils, called chrism or myron, in important events/ ceremonies. Both the Greek 'Christ' and the Hebrew 'Messiah' mean 'the Anointed One'.
