The Anointing at Bethany
3 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply. Mark 14:3-9

The precious spikenard oil held in alabaster was used to anoint Christ before his death and burial. The fragrance infused the dwelling and prepared the way for the greatest sacrifice and miracle to come – the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Gospel accounts before the Passover (Jesus’ death) with Mary, Martha and Lazarus (siblings):

Matthew 26:6-13 
Mark 14:3-9 
John 12:1-8 
Luke 7:36-50 

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair.
John 12:1-8

10th day of the 1st Month – Anointed with oil in preparation. “Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man must select a lamb for his family, one per household.” Exodus 12:3.

 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, “Why was this fragrant oil wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they criticized her sharply.
6 But Jesus said, “Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me. 7 For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always. 8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. 9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.”
Matthew 26:6-13

An earlier account of alabaster and oil – Luke 7:36-50 speaks of the house of Simon the Pharisee rather than the house of Simon the leper. This event occurred about a year before the crucifixion in the area around Galilee (Luke 7:1, 11). The woman here was forgiven of many sins, but her name is not given.

Nard / Spikenard
Greek: νάρδος, νάρδου, ἡ  Hebrew: נֵרְדְּ, Song of Solomon 1:12; Song of Solomon 4:13f)
Sanskrit: naladâ; Persian: nârdîn

Nard (Spikenard), Nardostachys Jatamansi, does not grow naturally in Israel. It is a fragrant East Indian plant, native of the Himalayan region,  belonging to the genus Valeriana, which yields a most precious ointment. Nard is a perennial herb that has a long tap roots or rhizomes that are used to make nard. In the Roman Empire, nard was the main ingredient in a perfume called nardinum.  From its blackish roots a perfume for the hair is still prepared in India and used in a variety of traditional Indian medicines. Supposedly nard was an ingredient in the Israelite Temple incense. https://godasagardener.com/2018/02/20/wasting-or-trusting
