Oil of Oil and Miro - what is the difference?

Often purchasing Holy Oil from Jerusalem, many do not understand the difference between Myrrh oil and Oil.

So what's the difference❓

⚱️ ELEI
Oil is often mentioned in the Bible and is constantly used in temples today. Even in ancient times it was used as a medicine. For example, the book of Leviticus describes a story where lepers were healed after oil was applied to them.
In eastern countries, when a monarch was crowned, a whole cup of oil was poured onto his head. This served as a symbol that this person was chosen by God and has a special purpose.

The Old Testament says that if the Lord punished the people, he would definitely deprive them of oil. After all, the pouring of oil has always been a symbol of prosperity for nations.

Today, oil is used in churches during various church rituals, such as anointing, unction, in lamps, as well as in various church sacraments.

By its nature, oil is an ordinary oil. Mostly they use pure flaxseed, sunflower or olive oil. In addition, it may contain essential oils without strong odors.

⚱️ PEACE
Miro is an fragrant oil that contains from 40 to 50 components, including oil. Incense is added to the oil, for example, myrrh may contain rose essential oil, incense, nutmeg oil, etc.

Miro is used during the lighting ritual. This applies not only to church buildings, but also to the person himself when he joins Christianity.

The establishment of the Sacrament of Confirmation dates back to apostolic times. In the original Church, each newly baptized person received the blessing and gift of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of hands by an apostle or bishop. Subsequently, with the increase in Christians, due to the impossibility of a personal meeting of each newly baptized person with the bishop, ordination was replaced by Confirmation.
