The Holy Anointing Oil
The third Temple Studies
Group Symposium was on Saturday 31 October 2009 in the Temple Church, London. Anointing with myrrh oil
was the most holy mystery of the Jerusalem temple. It passed
into Christianity and gave the faith its name. This symposium
explored the temple rite and its meaning, and then looked at
some of the ways in which Christians preserved the ancient
tradition.
