There is as far as I know no symbolic meaning for myrrh. As myrrh is an aromatic resin that is burned as incense, it could be interpreted that as the smoke rises towards heaven so do our prayers. That I must stress is only this writers opinion.

For many Latinos, the myrrh tree has significant meaning. Many in Central America plant this tree in gardens out of a religious devotion, using it's fragrant yellow to brown resin globules called 'tears' as incense. It produces a fragrant smoke and an aromatic scent similar to that of the Catholic church. The flowers are a beautiful shade of sienna with a yellow center.

Myrrh was one of the tree gifts given to the baby Jesus. It symbolizes the affection for a person's love of Jesus, the Savior.
