I rose up in order to open to my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers were full of the finest myrrh.1
- 5:7The bride gets up to let her beloved in; her hands are covered with myrrh (used as an ointment for its fragrance and healthful properties). +The Church opens to Christ. The myrrh represents the bitter Passion and Crucifixion of the Church, in imitation of the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ.(Conte)
