The story of the dogwood tree and Jesus is a popular Christian legend, not a Biblical truth.
It suggests the dogwood was once a massive tree used for Jesus’s cross, then cursed to be small and twisted.
Its blooms, featuring a cross shape, thorn-like center, and rust-red stained petals, serve as a reminder of the Crucifixion.
Even though it’s not true, nature sure is amazing and it’s wonderful to think and see a symbol of
Jesus Payment and Resurrection.
