It's significance is explained in . . .
The
Legend of the Dogwood
There's a legend that the dogwood was once the size of the
oak and other forest trees. It was so strong and firm that
it was chosen as the timber for Christ's cross. This greatly
distressed the tree. Jesus, nailed upon it, sensed the tree's
regret and told it: "Because of your sorrow for my
suffering, never again shall the dogwood grow large enough
to be used as a cross. It shall be slender, bent and twisted.
It's blossoms shall form a cross - two long and two short
petals, and at the outer edge of each petal will be nail prints
brown with rust and stained with red. In the center of the
flower shall be a crown of thorns. And all who see it will
remember . . ."
