The Song of Solomon is also called “Song of Songs” and “Canticles.” This collection of love songs has long been an enigma and many interpretations have been offered for it. This love-relationship could signify the relation between God and His people, or that between Christ and the Church.

Song of Solomon 1

1:3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
