🟧 The ancients considered this spring herb the symbol of new life, and it has been used to celebrate the Easter calendar. In parts of Europe, chervil soup is served on Holy Thursday.
🟧 The herb was traditionally believed to stop bad dreams or nightmares.
🟧 Ninon de Lenclos, a 17th-century French courtesan, supposedly boiled chervil in water and washed her face with it twice daily to prevent wrinkles.
🟧 Chervil was sometimes called myrrhis because the scent of its volatile oil was similar to that of the aromatic resin myrrh.
