At PBS (Progressive Bible Study) this morning we were reading the Matthew version of Jesus' birth story. We were noting the variances in footnotes about the 3 Magi gifts. I had not remembered that myrrh was a gum resin from a tree or shrub rather than a spice or fragrance.
Because my spouse is a research chemist that works with resins and their properties, I thought I should do some research on myrrh so we could perhaps we could discuss the "scientific properties" of myrrh at the dinner table tonight.
So here's the scoop on myrrh...
