It is sad but a beautiful story. I always heard that after the huge tree was cut down and used to crucify Our Lord the dogwood would no longer grow tall and strong but short so it could never be used in such a manner again! Legend says that while Christ was hung on the cross he heard the sadness of the dogwood tree and in His compassion said the tree would never be used for a cross and today is grows small and slender and the flowering buds look like the shape of the cross, the red marks on the petals represent the nail marks and the center of the flower represents the thorns.<br />Thank you for reminding me of this story today.Annesphamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355786666073982088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940621797132280783.post-30999536247243438752012-04-02T03:19:03.076-04:002012-04-02T03:19:03.076-04:00What a Special Story...

My mother loved dogwood trees and she would have branches (artificial) in our house for Easter. I love the story behind it and the symbolism. I am going to look for some silk branches today. xoBarbara F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05650730931602700042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940621797132280783.post-41905750611769082962012-03-29T10:11:27.262-04:002012-03-29T10:11:27.262-04:00I love Dogwood trees., I was originally from East...I love Dogwood trees., I was originally from East Texas and they are plentiful there.
