According to legend, the dogwood tree used to grow tall and straight and strong, and it was used as the cross of crucifiction.  Ever since then, it grows small and crooked, with flowers that represent the four wounds.\n\nNo basis in fact, this is just the story I've heard.

See if you can see the LAST SUPPER CUP in this picture of the last supper...\n\nhttp://impiousdigest.com/last_supper.jpg\n\nALSO I BELIEVE THAT THE LAST SUPPER MAY HAVE LOOKIED LIKE THIS:\n\nThese are Wooden Cups made from Authentic Olive Wood in Jerusalem maybe the same style Jesus used... these cups are  on Auction at Ebay - obviously not the originals hehe...\n\nhttp://i23.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/e5/3f/77_1_b.JPG\n\n\n--------------------\n\nTo asnwer your 2nd Question:\n\nYou had a good response.\n\nWhy did they not put GIFTS at the feet of Jesus?\n\nwell the first answer would be: Obviously he was on a Donkey, it would be hard to put gifts at the feet of someone who was riding a donkey... however, I do imagine they might have put gifts at the rode where Jesus intered. Although the bible does not say anything about it does not mean that it didn't happen...\n\nThe second smart answer would be: They were all too buisy putting Palm Branches down before him...\n\nhere is a thought: Maybe the Gifts were the actual PALM BRANCHES? \n\nMaybe they couldn't afford gifts... hmmmmm?\nMaybe All they could afford were palm branches to lay before him...\n\nJust a thought lol :)\n\nTell your Brother I said - Good thinking, almost stumped me... \n\nthank you,

It is thought that it was originally called God's Friday but we call it Good Friday because Jesus was crucified on the cross for our salvation and the redemption of our sins.

No where in the Bible does it mention Christ being hung on a cross.  The scriptures refer to it as a stake.  As well, in the Ten Commandments as well as numerous other scriptures, we are directed not to use items of veneration or idols in our worship of God.  Therefore, the cross, being an idol, would not be used in worship.  As well, if Christ was hung on a cross, would it be right to worship the item used to put him to death?

No!  Even secular history has recorded the crucifixion of Jesus.\n\nPontius Pilate wrote a letter to Caesar after Jesus Christ was crucified and rose from the dead.  The letter was found by a man named Rev WD Mahan at the Vatican in Rome, Itlay.  This letter was reproduced in a book Rev Mahan wrote in 1887 titled "The Archko Volume".  The excertps quoted below  are from the Archko Volume on pages 141, 142, 145, 147 and was written in a book titled, "The Genesis Factor" written by Yacov Rambsel on pages 102, 105-106.\n\nExcerpts from Pontius Pilate's letter to Ceasar recorded in the Archko Volume:\n\nDescribing the mob at the crucifixion (pg 141):\n\n"Often in our civil commotion have I witnessed the furious anger of the multitude, but nothing could be compared to what I witnessed on this occassion.  It might have been truly said that all phantoms of the infernal regions had assembled at Jersulam.  The crowd appeared not to walk, but to be borne off and whirled as a vortex, rolling along in living waves from the portals of the praetorium even unto Mount Zion, with howling screams, shrieks, and vociferations such as were never heard in the seditions of the Pannonia, or in the tumults of the forum."\n\nDescribing the great noise and darkness at Golgotha (142):\n\n"A loud clamor was heard procedding from Golgotha, which, borne on the winds, seemed to announce an agony such as was never heard by mortal ears.  Dark clouds lowered over the pennacle of the temple, and setting over the city covered it with a veil.  So dreadful were the signs that men saw both in the heavens and on the earth that Dionysius the Aerogagite is reported to have exclaimed, 'Either the author of nature is suffering or the universe is falling apart.'"\n\nPilate quoting Ben Isham, a sentry at the tomb (145):\n\n"He said that at about the beginning of the fourth watch they saw a soft and beautiful light over the sepulchre.  He at first thought that the women had come to embalm the body of Jesus, as was their custom, but he could not see how they had gotten through the guards. While these thoughts were passing through his mind, behold, the whole place was lighted up, and their seemed to be crowds of the dead in their graveclothes.  All seemed to be shouting and filled with ecstasy, while all around and above was the most beautiful music he had ever heard; and the whole air seemed to be full of voices praising God."\n\nPilate's concluding remarks (146):\n\n"I am almost ready to say, as did Manlius at the cross, 'Truly this was the Son of God.'"

Consider this:\n\nAccording to Christians, before the crucifixion Jesus (as God) was:\n\nOmnipotent\nOmniscient\nOmnibenevolent\n\nAFTER the crucifixtion, Jesus remains:\n\nOmnipotent\nOmniscient\nOmnibenevolent\n\nSacrifice means to give something up.  As I see it, Jesus didn't give up a darn thing.  God (as Jesus or through Jesus) is EXACTLY the same as God was before the crucifixion.  Nope....no sacrifice there.

At my house we have a crucifix [pretty decent sized] and a statue of Mary hanging from the wall in our living room..  She sits on this thing my grandpa got us from Vietnam.  There are little branches that come out of the base, and we have rosarys hang from there.  The base makes the rosaries have an easier access when we go and get them to use.

This is prophecy/reference of Christs arrest and being nailed to the Cross.  Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me (these are the Jewish Priests and the Roman guards who arrest Jesus and call for his Crucifixion)  They have pierced my hands and feet, I can count all my bones (ref to Jesus on cross - he was nailed to Cross in the hands and feet, yet none of his bones were broken)  people stare and gloat over me ( the guards and Jewish priests mocked Jesus saying for him to save himself and mad fun of him)  They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing (the Roman guards stripped him of his clothing and threw lots (like dice) to win his clothing\n\nAs far as "Father forgive them they know not what they do"  . .Even at the Cross, Jesus prayed for those Crucifying him as well as the future generations that would not chose to believe and and know him, the Messiah and Saviour.

Acually jesus was put to death on a torture stake.\n\nThe book The Non-Christian Cross, by John Denham Parsons, states: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros (stake) used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross.

The sin of all the world was placed on Jesus when he was on the cross. When He rose from the dead, He was victorious over, sin, death and hell.

A cross is a symbol reminding us that Jesus was crusified and died so that people could be forgiven for their sins, I have a few crosses around and wear them too.  Your rosary beads sound beautiful.  Treasure them and if they are not blessed go ask a priest to bless them.
