Abba Oils produces the Shroud Fragrance Candle, a blend of pure olive oil from the Galilee region of the Holy Land and a special gifted oil from the 2000-year-old trees in the Garden of Gethsemane, the very garden where Jesus prayed. Infused with some of the ancient burial fragrances mentioned in the Gospel accounts of the Resurrection, it symbolically represents the scents that would have been present on the linen burial cloth of Jesus. First century Jewish burial rites included preparing a body with fragrant resins & spices, oils of nard, myrrh and aloes. The Gospel of John records: "Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds. So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom" (John 19:39-40).
