Furthermore…

I heard a radio program about the holy oils mentioned in the Bible. There is a firm which markets them. I was fascinated, and when I heard they have one made out of roses, I had to have it for my sister, who is totally devoted to her roses. Also, I bought a sampler of little vials of each oil, just so I could experience them and have a better idea of their fragrances. I love the Rose of Sharon, very heady, and Oil of Pomegranate which is fruity and such a trip - I LOVE it!!!!!  

So I bought some of the gift packages,  one of each oil, for Christmas presents. I sent Pomegranate to my cousin Mary, who has been having some hard times. They come in little roll-on dispensers in gold foil finish boxes that knock your eyes out.

There is a lot of information and lore, both biblical and extra-biblical, connected with these oils, even some health benefits associated with them. All-in-all (block that pun) finding out about them has been quite an enriching education for me.
