Legend of the Dogwood
There is a legend that at the time of the Crucifixion the dogwood had been the size of the Oak and other forest trees. So firm and strong was the tree that it was chosen as the limber for the cross. To be used thus for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the
tree, and Jesus, nailed upon it sensed this, and in His gentle pity for all sorrows and suffering said to it: "Because of your regret and pity for my suffering, never again shall the Dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. Henceforth it shall be slender and bent and twisted and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross... two long and two short petals and in the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see it will remember.
Excellent used condition - no chips, crazing or scratches. I do always say with used items there are generally some signs of wear and/or marks, not that I can see anything of note. Please check the photos for yourself to decide if the condition is acceptable before purchasing.
Please check the photos as they form part of the description. If you have any questions please ask them before purchasing. I am happy to combine postage to 'actual cost' where it benefits the buyer. Please await an amended invoice before paying or I won’t be able to change it.

PLEASE NOTE REGARDING VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE COLLECTIBLES:
Most antique and vintage pieces may have small imperfections and flaws from the manufacturing process or from use and wear over time. I take extra effort to accurately describe the condition of each item. Please check the photographs for any flaws as these constitute part of the description. Please be aware that some situations, such as wear on gilt edging, chips, cracks or other similar signs of patina are very common and add to the unique character of the piece.
