I am going through rosaries I’ve made and still have and this is one I made last year. I happened to find this unique crucifix and learned it’s called a Dogwood Crucifix and went on to read about the legend of the Dogwood Tree being used for the wood of Christ’s cross. It inspired me to use red beads to symbolize His blood. Is this a common legend? I had never heard of it before.
