In a previous letter, I saw a connection between Mira and the root word Myrrh.

Myrrh comes from the Arabian Myrtle (Myrrh) Tree.

 

1918h = Myrtle Tree

1919h = Hadassah

 

I just mentioned a coworker in cubicle 1919 wearing a t-shirt with the names of the Hershey Park roller coasters one which was called the “Comet”.

 

If you have not seen a picture of Mira, it has a comet like tail.

Also in the new movie called The Last Legion which opened in theaters Aug. 17, 2007, the actress, Aishwarya Rai, plays as a warrior named, Mira.

Although historically inaccurate, it is based on the last Roman Emperor who ruled until he lost the kingdom on Sept 4, 476 AD, where he was sent to live in the Castellum Lucullanum in Campania ; he disappears from the historical record afterward.

From there the movie takes the liberty where history is silent and creates the legendary link between Romulus , the Excalibur, and King Arthur.

 

Sorry for the side note…

 

The actress, Aishwarya Rai, who plays as Mira before her acting career began in 1997, had won the Miss World title in 1994.

 

There is a masterpiece of Grace more beautiful than Miss World, more wonderful than Mira, and definitely worth more than the Mona Lisa.

 

That masterpiece is made of those whom God has redeemed, purchased by the priceless blood of Jesus Christ… His Bride.

 

Blessings,
