Word of the Day - 10/22/2008

Flacon

A flacon is a small bottle or flask with a stopper, especially one used for perfume.

A woman in Bethany lovingly poured the contents of a flacon of perfume on Jesus' head.

a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. (Matthew 26:7, NASB)

Jesus interpreted the action as preparation for his burial.

Note: This interpretation of "The Anoitning" was created by Macha Chmakoff.
