Hyssop has been honored in many religious and spiritual traditions. It is often associated with holiness, power, purification and healing. In the Old Testament, the blood of a lamb smeared on a doorpost with hyssop protected the people of Israel from the angel of destruction. In this origin story of the Jewish Pesach (Easter) holiday, hyssop played a significant role. Historically, hyssop has been used as a cleansing herb both physically and symbolically. It was believed to bring sanctity to the premises.
