Maybe they use a lot of incense in their ceremonies?

A 2000 year old corpse must surely give off an aroma. Like pickled cabbage maybe?

Given that Jesus was an itinerant hippie who spent much of his time around dead fish, I can’t imagine he had the best aroma. I’m avoiding this church.

Tom, your link is broken for some reason. Here’s a proper link (I hope).Looks like it should be something more like “The Perfume of Jesus.”

The first character/definition is probably what was intended, something more like “The Way (Direction) of Jesus Missionary Church”.

I’m not a native korean speaker, so I can’t say for sure. Aroma may have some figurative meaning in Korean that doesn’t translate.

yikes…

I remember seeing that awesomeness during the Great LA Walk on Pico a couple years ago. It wasn’t far away from a hole-in-the-wall travel agency (since closed) on teh same street that for some odd reason used the likeness of Al Pacino’s Scarface in its signage.

Yeah, I remember that from the walk. It may have stunk just a little. (Not as bad as The Huntington’s latest Corpse Flower.)

You all are making me laugh. There still seems no good explanation! Awesome. I love LA.
