Bible Question: would someone please tell me what type of wood the cross was made of and where it states it in the bible?

Bible Answer: I read a long time ago as a child, in a magazine, that tradition has it that it was made out of a dogwood tree, which at that time grew very tall and strong. Because the tree felt so bad about being used in that way (for our Savior's death) God changed it's growing habits to be twisted and never usable for that purpose again. It's flowers would have four petals in the shape of a cross with indentations in each to represent the nails. In the center of each would be the part that would represent the crown of thorns and would be ruddy in color for the shed Blood of Christ. I know this is not biblical, but I can never look at a dogwood flower without thinking of the sacrifice our Lord made for me.
