| Spikenard,
a rare and costly fragrant oil, was used by Mary of
Bethany to anoint the head and feet of the Messiah
two days before His death, as recorded in John 2:12:
“Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard,
very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped
his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with
the odor of the ointment.” It speaks of the Bride’s
extravagant adoration of & intimacy with the Bridegroom,
in total abandonment, without regard to cost. We at
ABBA call Spikenard "The Fragrance of the Bride",
for it symbolizes the bride who has made herself ready,
as is is written in Song of Sol 1:12 "While the king
sits at his table, my spikenard sends forth it fragrance." |
