Fragrance and the Bible
(Kaori to Seisho)
Hatsuho Yajima
Tract for women by an aroma therapist using an aroma theme to present the cross of Christ. Scratch and sniff lavender patch. Fragrance is part of our lives and aroma therapy is popular for removing stress. Historically ancient Egyptians used fragrant frankincense and myrrh in their religious ceremonies. In the Bible our prayers to God are received by him as fragrant sacrifices (Ps 141:2). At Jesus’ birth the wise men gave frankincense and myrrh to him. When he died for us on the cross he took our sins. Afterward, when the women came the 3rd day to put fragrant spices on his body, they discovered he had risen. This is celebrated around the world at Easter. When Jesus took our sins as our substitute on the cross it showed his deep love. And afterward when he was victorious over death he gives us hope. He said, “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.“(Matt 11:28) Includes recipe for a fragrant room spray. Pack of 20.
