Origin & Lore

Lavender is a Mediterranean shrub prized since antiquity for its clean scent, used by Romans in their baths and later strewn on floors and folded into stored linen. In folk practice it became a herb of peace, calm sleep and gentle purification, which makes it a natural companion to quiet prayer.

Lavender has been tucked into linen chests, church floors and bathwater for centuries, and its name is often traced to the Latin lavare, to wash.

Lavender was a strewing herb in medieval and Tudor houses, scattered on floors so it released its scent when walked on.

A European legend says Mary dried the infant Jesus’ clothes on a lavender bush and the plant took its fragrance from them, which is one reason lavender appears in Christian folk devotion.
