Information by artist:
Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is the official flower of Orthodoxy. The
word rihan in the Hebrew scriptures has been translated as myrtle in
Syria and as basil in Artas.
One legend says that, in 325 A.D., the
basil plant helped St. Helen identify the location of the cross on which
Jesus had been crucified. Basil is used in many major feast days of the
church – most often when blessing homes or during those church services
at which the blessing of the waters takes place.
