- The biblical Rose of Sharon is most likely a Cistus shrub, also known as rock rose, source since antiquity of 'labdanum', a valuable aromatic resin often used today in the making of perfumes as substitute of ambergris. In ancient times, it was also used as holy incense. This dashing plant in full bloom sings the joy of new life in dry land, symbolic of the joy of God's love in our heart
- THE NEW JERUSALEM HOLY ANOINTING OILS. We use extra virgin oil from olive groves in Jerusalem and the Judea Mountains, blending it with carefully sourced natural essential oils & fragrances to make a hand-crafted Premium anointing oil. Clear/blue bottles of 7.5, 10, 30, 100 and 250ml are filled by hand, then jointly blessed before shipping, prayer shawl on. We hope to help rebuild the spiritual walls of people's hearts, true temples of worship and intimacy with God
- Anointing with oils is frequently mentioned in the Bible. In Exodus 30:23-33 God instructs Moses to mix olive oil with 4 aromatic ingredients to make a holy anointing oil, used to honor, empower or sanctify priests, prophets and kings, and to dedicate objects for sacred purposes. Many Christian churches (Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox etc.) still use holy anointing oils, symbol of the Holy Spirit, in important 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. Ancient Bible scents facilitate spiritual practice and worship, inspiring prayer, deap meditation and inner peace. 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
- Natural scented oils, used for blessing, prayer, offering, and religious ritual since antiquity, are a legacy of ancient wisdom, blending millenary herbal lore with spiritual tradition. Pure virgin olive oil is an excellent carrier for precious substances like myrrh, aloe, saffron, mint, rose of Sharon which are valued for their unique fragrances.
