The Dogwood Luncheon Tray brings meaningful floral symbolism to gatherings and home décor. This large tray makes a statement at an event and is equally striking as a decorative accent, with a dogwood theme rooted in a Christian legend of sacrifice and renewal.
According to the Christian legend, the dogwood was once a large tree whose strong wood was used to make the cross on which Jesus was crucified. The story says the tree was then destined to remain small, so its wood 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 the shape of a cross. Their indented tips are said to recall nail prints, while their coloring evokes the blood of the crucifixion. These details give the dogwood its place in the legend as a symbol of faith, sacrifice, and renewal.
Bring it out for a gathering, then let it remain part of your home as a reminder of the story behind the blossoms. The Dogwood Luncheon Tray is a meaningful choice for someone who appreciates floral décor, Christian symbolism, or pieces that connect special occasions with everyday surroundings.
