Context: The term μύρον appears in several key passages in the New Testament, illustrating its importance in both social and religious contexts. In the Gospels, μύρον is notably mentioned in the accounts of women anointing Jesus. For instance, in Matthew 26:7, a woman pours a jar of very expensive perfume on Jesus' head as He reclines at the table. Similarly, in Mark 14:3, a woman breaks an alabaster jar of pure nard, a very costly perfume, and pours it on His head. These acts of anointing are significant, symbolizing honor, devotion, and preparation for burial.
