My Grandmother Monck went Home to be with the LORD when I was fourteen. This beautiful legend was printed on the bulletin for her funeral.



I hope you enjoy this set as much as I enjoyed creating it!

When Jesus Christ dwelt on earth, the dogwood tree was the size of the mighty Oak. So strong was the dogwood, it was chosen as the timber for the cross of Calvary. To be used for such a cruel purpose, greatly distressed the tree.



Jesus, nailed to the tree, sensed His creation's distress. In His gentle pity for all sorrow and suffering, He said, "Never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a Cross. Henceforth the dogwood shall be slender, bent, and twisted, bowed in humility. It’s blossoms shall be in the form of the Cross, two long and two short petals; at the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with crimson, and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns. So that all who see it will remember Me.



For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
