Keep it until the fourteenth
For when from his spittle he makes clay and anoints our eyes and makes us see clearly, and when he opens the ears of our heart so that having ears we may be able to hear, and when we smell his fragrance recognizing that his name is ointment poured out, and if having tasted we see that the Lord is good, and through touch we handle him (John 9:6–7) (Song of Songs 1:3) (Psalm 34:8) (1 John 1:1) (Mark 8:25) (Matthew 13:9) (Isaiah 6:10).
