Smyrna

Smyrna — the healing gift of the Magi

When in the radiance of the Star of Bethlehem the three Magi — the three prophetic wise men of the East came to the Nativity manger of the Infant Christ, they brought Him gifts filled with the deepest meaning: gold, frankincense and myrrh , eleven). Gold symbolized that the true king appeared to the world – the King of Heaven. Incense – temple incense – meant that He was at the same time the High Priest, the Great Hierarch, as theologians and icon painters called Him. The meaning of these two gifts is relatively easy to understand. But what is the mysterious myrrh, the very name of which is firmly forgotten in modern life?

Smyrna is also mentioned in other places in the New Testament. The Gospel of Mark says this about the Calvary sacrifice of Christ: “And they brought Him to the place of Calvary, which means: the place of the skull. And they gave Him wine to drink with myrrh; but He did not accept” (Mark 15:22, 23). Here the Greek name for this mysterious substance is used, which was mixed with wine. The ancient Jews called it “myrrh”, perhaps they associated the use of myrrh with death, with the departure of a person to another world. Another gospel story testifies to this: after removing the body of Jesus from the cross, Nicodemus came and “brought a composition of myrrh and aloe, about a hundred liters” (John 19, 39) – probably to anoint the body of Christ.

The word “myrrh”, probably better than “myrrh”, is familiar to the reader. Many will remember that in Orthodox worship, “holy chrism” is used for incense. Yes, myrrh-myrrh is a fragrant resin for incense, although it is also a medicine consecrated by a thousand-year tradition.

Myrrh is obtained from the bark of the tropical tree Commiphora myrrha (or Balsamodendron myrrha). For a botanist, myrrh is akin to frankincense, since frankincense trees also belong to the Burzeraceae family, which includes the myrrh-producing genus Commiphora. Myrrh trees grow in Africa on the shores of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, as well as on the Arabian Peninsula. In ancient times, incense, including myrrh, was often brought to the city of Smyrna (now Izmir) on the western coast of Asia Minor – perhaps that is why myrrh was called myrrh in the Russian translation of the Bible (strictly speaking, myrrh is a gum similar to myrrh, obtained from the plant Smyrnium perforatum ).

Myrrh was one of the main embalming substances in Ancient Egypt. Among the ancient Jews, they also begin to use it in the rite of anointing, which was then adopted by Christianity (myrrh is one of the components that make up the “holy myrrh”, which has long been known in Rus’).

This is how the Bible tells about myrrh (“myrrh” in the synodal translation): “Take for yourself the best fragrant substances: self-flowing myrrh five hundred shekels of fragrant cinnamon half against that, two hundred and fifty, fragrant reed two hundred and fifty, cassia five hundred shekels, according to the holy shekel and olive oil five hundred gins. And make from this myrrh for the sacred anointing, a compound suit, by the art of making the suit: this will be the myrrh for the sacred anointing (Exodus: 30, 23). This recipe can be considered one of the most ancient in the history of mankind, and no matter how strange it may sound, all subsequent perfumery is a continuation and development of this recipe. However, modern perfumery has largely lost the ability to appeal to the spiritual principle in man; alcohol was used as the basis for colognes and perfumes. Yes, and essential oils are now obtained by steam distillation, and not by insisting on oil, as in ancient times.

But back to myrrh. The Greeks also knew it. Greek myth tells that the mother of the god Adonis was a woman named Mirra; she turned into a myrrh tree shortly after she became pregnant. And from her tears, a fragrant resin was formed. This myth probably owes its origin to the fact that myrrh was used by the Greeks as an incense at the feast of Adonis.

What does that thing called myrrh look like? These are pieces of resin in the form of separate grains or sticky masses of a yellowish-transparent or brownish color, with a tart smell and a bitter taste. The diameter of the grains is from two to five millimeters (smaller grains predominate). Myrrh is vitreous at a break.

Since ancient times, the best variety of myrrh has been considered “self-flowing” – the one that itself flowed from the bark of the plant. The same that was collected from wounds specially inflicted on the plant was considered the worst. Varieties also differ in smell. Often within one batch there are pieces that smell just like cherry gum when smoked; others are very fragrant, their subtle aroma reminiscent of cumin and lily of the valley at the same time.

When burned on charcoal, myrrh does not melt, but bounces slightly (this is how all gum-containing resins behave). The taste of myrrh is bittersweet, with a taste of autumn mushrooms – so, very fresh and soft, smell of chanterelles.

The ancient Greeks determined the quality of myrrh by taste, then choosing one-color grains from it. In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was believed that myrrh is a resin that comes out of the roots of a tree and therefore lies on the ground. Of course, this was the opinion of those who did not know how myrrh was collected. Here is one of the oldest descriptions of its collection (belonging to Theophrastus, a Greek of the IV-III centuries BC): Gather the same gum all summer. It flows in a thin stream, but in a day one person can draw it from the sink. Her smell is wonderful and strong: a small amount of it fills a large space with its aroma. It does not reach us in its pure form: after collecting it, it is immediately mixed on the spot: it mixes well with many substances; gum, which is usually sold in Hellas, is mixed with something. The branches of this tree are very fragrant. Pure gum is worth twice as much as silver; mixed – depending on the amount of substitution.

At the beginning of the 20th century, myrrh was sent after collection mainly to Bombay, from where, already sorted, it came to Europe under the names: “Arabian” and “African”. The first has the appearance of pieces the size of a nut or solid masses of yellow-pink color. She has a kink with a greasy sheen, uneven; when triturated with water, it gives a white emulsion. The smell of Arabian myrrh is strong, the taste is bitter, not disappearing for a long time, “scratching”. This variety of myrrh, the most common, is also called “male myrrh”. African myrrh, on the other hand, is more soft, has a less strong odor, and is less pungent in taste. This variety is called “female myrrh.” In European trade, it is relatively rare. Perhaps more often it is used by the Arabs, who burn “murr” on especially solemn occasions.

It is impossible not to notice that myrrh grows in places where frankincense trees grow. The collection methods and properties of these plants are similar, but it must be admitted that myrrh is still more of a medicine than incense or smoking. The incense of myrrh, if it occurs, is usually for magical, and not domestic purposes.

In medieval medicine, myrrh was used very often. To some extent, this is due to the respect that she inspired in Christians since the time of Christ. A doctor from the Czech Republic, the author of the Medical Book, Jan Cerny, believed that the incense of myrrh “dries the brain”, that is, it dries up the harmful “mucus” in the brain. The smoke of myrrh, let into the uterus, warms it, cleanses and dries. Prolapse of the rectum was treated in a similar way.

Medieval Armenian doctor Amirdovlat Amasiatsi said that the best type of myrrh “is considered to be red and pure resin. Her nature is hot in the third degree. Brings on sleep. Clears the chest and lungs, and clears the voice. Helps with poisoning by all poisons. Dissolves tumors. Kills mold in the air and in the body, and also protects against it. If you soak myrrh in wine and anoint a corpse, it will not rot.”

As a component, myrrh is sometimes included in composite incense, which is used in the Catholic and Anglican churches, for example, in the Dutch incense “Three Kings” (meaning the kings-sorcerers of the Nativity of Christ).

Nowadays, myrrh is used in homeopathy. In traditional European medicine, it is also used for catarrhs ​​of the upper respiratory tract. In the treatment of teeth, myrrh is included, due to its embalming properties, in the composition of fillings and dental varnishes.

Myrrh is healing in its own way and as an incense. It gives birth and gives a very stable, subtle, collected state of mind, stabilizing something in a person. Obviously, this is her main secret – in the ability to maintain her own stability and the stability of what she comes into contact with.
