The first thing that can be found in our pizza or pasta sauce is this mint leaf, but in the Orthodox Christian community and in the Greek Church it is considered a sacred herb.
Mint The English name 'basil' comes from the Greek word 'royal'.
Orthodox Christians believe that this tree was born where the blood of Jesus Christ was shed. This is why the presence of mint leaves is seen in many Christian ceremonies.
Priests use mint leaves to purify the holy water, and water soaked in the mint tree is sprinkled on the congregation.
In the special religious ceremonies of the church there are mint trees with crosses and small stalks are handed out.
Many people soak these stalks in water to give them new roots so that they can be planted in their homes as a blessing.
wow never thought that mint tree is related to Jesus Christ. Thank you for the valuable information.
