I had never heard this word before a week or two ago, and now I’m seeing it in memes, discussions, etc. Why is a resin becoming more prevalent online?
Baader-Meinhof phenomenon
Or synchronicity
Ask your dad, whom I assume is Lucifer?
Confirmation bias. I’m not seeing this word anywhere except in your post.
Because according to legend wise men brought a resin involved in embalming the wealthy to an impoverished infant in a neighborhood in what is now Palestine
It was used more broadly than for embalming, that’s just what we know it as now, since the other uses got pushed out in the years since.
It’s still a pretty silly idea that some out-of-touch old dude brought a high-end febreeze to a baby.lol, i love how stupid this shit sounds when you actually spell it out plainly
It’s supposed to be strange. The magi are mystic wizened men (magi are zoroastrian priests) come to give a poor child gifts fit for a prince, specifically ones related to death. Because they saw his birth in the stars. It’s a weird story, but it’s supposed to be weird. It’s about reinforcing that Jesus was destined from birth to die a king. Also it should be noted that king of kings is a title used by both Jesus and Iranian emperors.
Every year we leave out a sacrifice for the god of charity and the eight beasts who drag him across the sky.
And by that I mean cookies and milk and carrots for Santa and his reindeer.
It’s all in the phrasing.
After following a star nobody else could see from (probably) Persia.

Wordle bro
Someone’s running a pump and dump scheme on Myrrh. Once that bubble pops they just transition to Frankincense like it never happened.
Thas how they GITYA
GTAVII?
Git ya
I can’t say I saw any memes with it, but I assume christmas. Myrrh was one of the gifts given to Jesus during his birth
During? Or after lol
Do I get to use the “not my first language” excuse? x3
Specifically: the three wise men brought gifts to baby Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. So it’s tied to Christmas.
Because it’s Christmas which is the only time people think of it
I think it was a Wordle answer recently. Not having any vowels probably tripped people up.
December 19th. Got a lot of folks really mad, for obvious reasons.
Y is a vowel?
EDIT: I love how all these responses have instances of y being a vowel.
Sometymes
Only sometimes
Occasionally
Like in the word “myrrh”
That is a myth.
This was gonna be my answer too. That one was tough
If you’re dropping by again, do pop in. But don’t worry too much about the myrrh next time. All right?
It’s mentioned in a well known Christmas carol that is often heard at this time of year. I’m not into it myself. Its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom. Too emo for me.
