Do you know the legend of the dogwood tree?  This may be just a 
Southern thing, but the legend goes that the Jesus' cross was made 
from the wood of a dogwood tree, which at that time grew as straight 
and tall as an oak.  Since then the dogwood has only grown stunted 
and crooked, the blossoms are in the shape of a cross and the stain 
on the end of each blossom represents Jesus' wounds.  That's the 
story here in the Bible Belt.
