I just love pictures of Mary of Bethany anointing Christ's feet. She's one of my Biblical heroes. I have a theory that her act of sacrifice to the Lord in John 12:3 was originally recorded in Song of Solomon 1:12. If that's true, then Mary is a picture of the Lily in Songs, who represents the Church, the adoring Bride of Christ.

Who were the women who anointed Jesus’ feet and head? And more importantly, why did they risk censure and scandal by doing so? Read my blog here where I suggest two women anointed Jesus at different times. Mary of Bethany was one and an unnamed woman at another time.
