| The Legend of the Dogwood Tree When Christ was on earth, the dogwood grew, to a towering size, with a lovely hue. It's branches were strong and interwoven, and for Christ's cross it's timbers were chosen. Being distressed at the use of this wood, Christ made a promise which still holds good. "NOT EVER AGAIN SHALL THE DOGWOOD GROW TO BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR A TREE, AND SO... SLENDER AND TWISTED IT SHALL ALWAYS BE, WITH CROSS SHAPED BLOSSOMS FOR ALL TO SEE. THE PETALS SHALL HAVE BLOODSTAINS MARKED IN BROWN AND IN THE BLOSSOM'S CENTER, A THORNY CROWN. ALL WHO SEE IT WILL THINK OF ME, NAILED TO THE CROSS FROM A DOGWOOD TREE. PROTECTED AND CHERISHED THIS TREE SHALL BE, A REFLECTION TO ALL OF MY AGONY." ~ Author Unknown ~ |
