Small daffodils down by the lake hiding from whatever frost or snow cruel April has in store.
Martha, Mary, and Lazarus are throwing a dinner for Jesus in their home at Bethany (John 12:1-9.) Mary takes a liter of perfume worth a year's wages, anoints the feet of Jesus and wipes them with her hair. Jesus sees this extravagant gesture as a preparation for his coming burial. Mary expresses her reverence and love for Jesus with a fragrance that we can still smell two thousand years later.
