Flowering Dogwood Trees and Their Symbolism
Apr 26, 2025
Why faith, hope and love? I put these words as a reminder to myself to have faith in God that Jesus died on the cross for a reason, because God loves us so much that he sacrificed his only son, Jesus, who died on the cross (thought to be made of a dogwood tree) so that we may have eternal life, and hope that Christ will come again.
