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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Thoughtful Accent with Personal Meaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring it out for a gathering, then let it remain part of your home as a reminder of the story behind the blossoms.
