The Christian Legend of the Dogwood

According to the legend, the dogwood was once a large, sturdy tree whose wood was used to build the cross on which Jesus was crucified. The story says the tree was then destined to remain small, so it could never again be used for that purpose, while being blessed with beautiful spring flowers associated with Easter.

In this tradition, the blossom's four petal-like bracts suggest a cross. Their indented tips recall nail prints, and their coloring is said to evoke the blood of the crucifixion. The legend gives the dogwood its enduring association with faith, sacrifice, and renewal.
