Description
- Cassia is one of 4 aromatic ingredients to be mixed with olive oil for the making of sacred anointing oil, according to God's instructions to Moses in Exodus 30:23-33. It's a dried bark rolled in sticks or grounded, similar to cinnamon in taste and sweet fragrance, widely used as spice. In ancient times it was also a valued perfume. Its Hebrew name means to bow and strip off, thus Cassia is a symbol of humility and truth, of yielding to what is right, and showing one's true self
- THE NEW JERUSALEM HOLY ANOINTING OILS. Based in Israel, we get our EVOO from a local press that uses olive trees grown in Jerusalem and the Judea Mountains. We only add 100% natural essential oils & fragrances. In our workshop, ingredients are mixed and bottled by hand to make high quality anointing oil.
- 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 30:23-33. 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'.
- A favorite souvenir from the Holy Land, handmade in Israel with care, our blessed anointing oils are also a devotional gift of love fit for ministers/clergy, and religious organizations.

Oil is traditionally applied on the skin of hands, forehead etc. for anointment, but it can also be used in a diffuser to purify and create a wholesome atmosphere
