Hyssop is an evergreen plant that originally grew in southern Europe, the Middle East and central Asia. It’s classified as a garden herb, and is part of the mint family. Hyssop is mentioned in the Bible numerous times. It was used in cleansing. Anise comes from hyssop. I would like to pluck a bloom and smell and taste what Jesus did on the cross. He was already clean, but I am far from it. John 19:29-30 - “A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, ‘It is finished.’ With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
