Esther's Days of Purification Book
Esther’s Days of Purification is found in Esther 2:12 as she was prepared for the King. Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other things for the purifying of the women;) Esther 2:12 KJV As you can see, Scripture gives us very little information about the spices and oils used to transform Esther from an orphan girl to a bride fit for a king. To find out more, apothecary, Cynthia Hillson, did much research into Biblical botanicals which led her to a historical study of the ancient spices transported and sold by caravan on the Incense Trail and the Spice Route of Queen Esther's day--a time when these beauty treatments were considered more precious than gold. Apothecary, Cynthia Hillson has been married to David for 30 years. They are the parents of six children and grandparents of three. Precious Oils Up On the Hill is the ministry Cynthia began in 1991 after a three-day encounter with the Holy Spirit where she was instructed to “anoint the nations” and “prepare the Bride”. Cynthia is a Modern Day Apothecary who teaches about Biblical fragrances for personal delight, physical health, and spiritual growth. Cynthia lovingly calls her books and workshops a “Show and Smell” ministry.
