DOGWOOD LEGEND


Easter Cross, Greensboro, NC

There is a legend that the Easter cross was fashioned from a once larger dogwood tree. Henceforth, the tree would no longer be capable of such a terrible use and it would grow slender and bent. Its blossoms would form a cross with nail rust and red stains on the outer edge of the petals. A crown of thorns in the center would complete the remembrance.
