Here is a lovely maiden gathering dogwood blossoms. Dogwoods have been symbolic to Christians for Easter.

"The blood-red spots on the white blossoms are said to represent Christ's blood drops. Dogwood blossoms have four bracts (resembling petals) that represent the cross, and the center of the dogwood flower resembles a crown of thorns. Legend says the dogwood was used for Christ's cross and was later cursed by God so that it would never be used as a cross again, which is why today's dogwoods are small and spindly."
