Passion Flower
The passion flower has strong ties with Christianity and is said to represent the passion of Jesus Christ.
The ten petals mirror the ten loyal and faithful apostles.
The filaments represent the crown of thorns.
The five anthers represent the wounds which Christ received.
The three stigmas match the three nails used to place him on the Cross.
And the tendril represents the whip used.
Dogwood Tree
Legend says that the cross in which Jesus was crucified was made from the wood of a Dogwood tree. At the time, this was a strong, sturdy and straight tree. God both blessed and cursed the tree.
The curse is said to be that the dogwood would never grow straight again, and became much thinner, so it could never be used for building.
The blessing is that the Dogwood blooms at Easter. The four petals of the flowers are in the shape of the cross, and the center represents the crown of thorns.
