Another use for spices:
"Dr Charlier said: "The spices and vegetables used for the embalming
process were directly inspired by the ones used for the embalming of Christ.
"For example, we found frankincense. This is the only case known of using
frankincense - we have never found any use of this before. This product is
really devoted to very, very important persons in history."
The heart, which was wrapped in linen, also had traces of myrtle, daisy,
mint and possibly lime.......
"That consciousness of using very high-quality herbs and spices and other
materials that are much sought after and rare does add to that sense of it
being Christ-like in its quality," he said."
