The Mount Athos myrrh for the car is contained in a small, practical bottle with a wooden cap, from which a cord hangs, allowing you to easily hang it in your car as an air freshener.

What Does Myrrh Symbolize?

Myrrh is also called the “oil of thanksgiving,” “chrism of thanksgiving,” or “heavenly chrism.” Its symbolism in Orthodox tradition is profound and highly significant, as Myrrh represents the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Moreover, Myrrh symbolizes the fragrance of faith, the tenderness of the heart, and devotion to the Lord. As referenced in the Gospel, a few days before Jesus’ Crucifixion, while He was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, a woman approached Him holding an alabaster jar of precious myrrh, with which she anointed His head (Matt. 26:6-7).

The women who followed Christ and tended to His body with Myrrh after His Passion, honoring their Teacher in this way, were called the Myrrhbearers. They remained with the Virgin Mary during His Passion and played a significant role in His burial.

*The packaging includes a laminated icon of a randomly selected Saint.
