Afanasy Afanasyevich FET. (№ 355419)
Silent night. In the open firmament of shaky
Stars of the South tremble.
The eyes of the mother with a smile
In the nursery a quiet look.
No ears, no eyes extra,
That cocks crowed -
And the angels in the highest
Praise God shepherds.
The nursery quiet shining eyes,
Lit Mary's face.
Star choir to a different choir
Hearing a quivering pressed.
And over It's burning high
The star of distant countries;
With her are the kings of the East
Gold, myrrh and frankincense.
Quote Explanation: Myrrh (myrrh) was one of the gifts of the Magi to the Christ child (Matt. 2:11), and if gold, according to some interpretations, meant the gift of the King of Judah, and frankincense, the high priest, the myrrh - gift to someone who needs to die, as myrrh in Ancient Israel was used for embalming the body of the deceased. It is obvious that the ancient Jew took from Egypt the understanding of burial myrrh as incense. Myrrh, like frankincense, is a resin of a tropical tree (lat. Commiphora myrrha) or (Balsamodendron myrrha) burzanovic family - the same family that Boswellia, which gives a natural incense. Woody, warm smell of myrrh resin, unlike incense, bitter (recall the origin of the word: myrrh = bitter).
