It was believed, by the ancient Greeks, that the God Venus created Oregano and gave it a wonderful sweet flavor and scent. The herb was said to be the favorite of Aphrodite. The word oregano means “joy of the mountain” from the Greek oros, meaning mountain and ganos meaning joy. Bridal couples where crowned with garlands of oregano to bring them peace and tranquility. Oregano grew wildly on the Greek hillsides and was believed to make the the grazing goats and sheep healthier and their meat more tender and tastier.

Inscribed on clay tablets thousands of years old (found in the Mid East), were instructions on how to "anoint" (or purify) those attending religious meetings. "Hyssop" (mentioned in the Bible and now known as the ancient herb Oregano) was used by boiling water that had the oregano leaves in it, then rinsing the hands and feet of the participants with this potent mixture. The powerful antiviral, antibacterial properties of oregano would naturally destroy any possible infections that might have been inadvertently carried into these sacred meetings.
