whiskeypapist:The Legend of the Dogwood TreeWhen Christ was on earth, the dogwood grewTo a towering size with a lovely hue.Its branches were strong and interwovenAnd for Christ’s cross its timbers were chosen.Being distressed at the use of the woodChrist made a promise which still holds good:“Not ever again shall the dogwood growTo be large enough for a tree, and soSlender and twisted it shall always beWith cross-shaped blossoms for all to see.The petals shall have bloodstains marked brownAnd 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 beA reflection to all of My agony.”I wish you all a meaningful Good Friday! -- source link
