What does the Bible say about Mary's anointing of Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

Mary anointed Jesus with costly ointment as an expression of her love and recognition of His impending burial, demonstrating the significance of devotion and worship.

In John 12:1-11, Mary anointed Jesus' feet with expensive spikenard, representing her deep love and acknowledgment of His worth. This act was prophetic in nature, as it expressed her understanding of Jesus' forthcoming death and burial. Mary's worship stands in contrast to Judas Iscariot's criticism, showcasing the divide between true devotion and hypocrisy. In defending Mary, Jesus highlighted the importance of cherishing moments of worship, emphasizing that such opportunities are fleeting and should not be taken for granted.
