Experience the Timeless Fragrances of Jerusalem: Biblical Anointing Oils

Everyone who has entered the Old City of Jerusalem knows that the vibrant street market, locally called “the shuq,” is alive with thousands of fragrances. Among the colorful spices and resins, you’ll find the timeless scents of natural oils and resins, used in religious rituals since the days of the Old and New Testaments.

The Biblical Significance of Anointing Oils

The myrrh brought by the Wise Men to Baby Jesus, the nard oil used to anoint Jesus’ feet in Bethany, and the sacred oils used after His crucifixion are iconic examples from the Bible. These oils, crafted from the finest natural ingredients, have always been symbols of reverence and respect.

The Atallah family has carried on this tradition for decades. Their biblical anointing oils are made using olive oil from trees grown in their Jerusalem garden. Some of these trees are ancient witnesses of history, dating back to Byzantine and Crusader times. Enriched with natural fragrances like nard, myrrh, musk, gardenia, jasmine, and rose, the oils honor the authenticity of biblical recipes.
