Gorgeous artistry by Fred Galloway featuring a flowering dogwood and inspirational message/br>
The following is pure speculation. Critics say that the dogwood tree did not grow in Israel, however some point out that the tree, prior to Jesus' touch, the tree could have been considered part of the dagwood tree, the strong, hard wood used to make arrows, wine presses etc... So while no one can prove the authenticity of this legend, it is quite possible at least in part, that it is truth.
Either way, the beautiful dogwood tree can stand to be one of inspiration and a reminder of Christs' sacrifice for humanity, as you gaze upon the creamy cross shaped blossoms with gaping holes, thorny crown center, the petals stained in ugly red-brown, the twisted, gnarled bark of the tree growing low and compact, remember the price that was paid for you.

A Legend of the Dogwood Tree
When Christ was on earth, the dogwood grew to a towering size with a lovely hue. Its branches were/br>strong and interwoven and for Christ's cross its 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 blood stains marked in brown and in the blossom's center a thorny crown.
All who see it will think of me, nailed to a cross from a dogwood tree. Protected and cherished this tree
shall be a reflection to all of my agony."
