The Calming Scent of forgiveness
Woven throughout all four gospels is the story of something so looked down upon at such a time in history. An uninvited guest coming into a home to anoint Jesus the most prolific figure in history.
It was the story of a woman who had a troubled history who had come in and anointed Jesus with one of the most expensive perfumes of that time.
In those times it was customary when you went over to someone’s home, that they would greet you and welcome you with a series of acts such as being greeted with a kiss on the cheek, having your feet washed, or having perfume poured on your head, this showed you trusted and showed you cared for your guest. Simon the host had done no such things when Jesus had arrived.
At those times roads were often very dusty and feet were more often than not covered in dirt, dust, and a great measure of things as sandals were the common footwear of that time. Often with long journeys, it wasn’t uncommon to have missed a shower or two.
In these stories shared in the Gospels, we know that Maria Magdalena went in uninvited yet driven in her heart to find Jesus. She went to great lengths to do such an act as not only pouring this expensive perfume on his head but also on his feet and drying them with her hair, something that was even looked down upon by the disciples for it was regarded as very expensive. After having poured about a pint she is then told to save the rest for the day of Jesus’ burial.
In doing so she found forgiveness not in the act of doing this but in by the faith Jesus saw in her heart that she had.
In the year 1994, during the Holy Week while attending a service in the Church of the Nativity and while reading the story of Maria Magdalena when she broke the Alabaster box and poured the perfume on the head of Jesus, The Lord spoke to the heart of my Father Nicola Canawati and inspired him to produce this fine perfume.
