Does the word "Smyrna" itself ring any bells?

The word "smyrna" means myrrh an anointing oil and spice used to prepare the dead for burial. Perfumed myrrh was used for embalming. In this way myrrh is very symbolic of death.

Also, at the stadium in Smyrna some of the earliest Christian martyrs were persecuted.
