What do you like to smell? Lilac or roses, chocolate cake or spices, cheese or bread?

A woman once brought a posh jar of perfume to Jesus when he was visiting a friend.

Instead of giving it to him, she opened the jar and poured the expensive perfume over his head and feet. The scent filled the room.

The disciples thought this was a waste. But Jesus told them that the woman had done something really beautiful for him.

She showed how special she thought Jesus was.

What would you do to show Jesus is special to you?

Is Mum a special someone to you? Don't forget Mothering Sunday on 14th March. Here's a sweet smelling idea.

• large clean jam jar with lid
• ribbon, stickers, glue and paper to decorate

• one orange
• one lemon
• citrus peel
• cloves, cinnamon stick
• sprig of rosemary or bay leaves
• chopping board
• knife
• water

Decorate the clean jam jar with stickers and paper.

Try heart and flowers shapes.

Cut a paper circle about the same size as the lid and glue to the top of the lid.

Using the knife and chopping board, cut the lemon and orange into quarters or rings or chunks.

Tip: ask an adult for help with the sharp knife.

Carefully place the bits of citrus fruit in the jar, making a pattern. Add a cinnamon stick or cloves or bay leaves or a sprig of rosemary as you go.

Top up the jar with water before screwing the lid tightly in place.

Tie a ribbon and bow to the neck of the jar.

To use: Open the jar and place the contents in a pan and simmer allowing the spicy citrus perfume to spread through the air. Top up with more water as needed.

Keep in the fridge if not using immediately.
