Legend has it the wood that made the cross Jesus was crucified on was from the Dogwood Tree, which at the time was the strongest and tallest of trees. God determined never again would the Dogwood Tree grow tall or strong enough to be used as a cross. Henceforth, it would be slender, bent, twisted and its blossoms in the form of a cross--two long and two short petals. In the center of the outer edge of each petal there would be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower would be a crown of thorns for all to see and remember.
