Myrrh has been an important substance in both spiritual ceremonies and medicine. It has been part of various rituals, sacrifices and incense. Especially in the crisis tradition, myrrh has a deep symbolic meaning, as it is associated with the birth of Jesus and also with the anointings after his death.
Myrrh has been considered a sacred substance in many cultures and has been offered to gods and spiritual forces. Burning it as incense has been a way to honor the gods and create a sacred atmosphere in rituals. Myrrh has also often been used in anointing oils, ceremonies such as coronations or blessings. It represents the blessed anointing and the holy spirit.
