What wood was Christ's cross made from?

Answer 1

It was not made of the dogwood, since no dogwood has ever been reported to have grown in the Middle East. Likely it was made of cedar or cypress, both of which are indigenous to that area. The myth of the dogwood was originated in Europe or even perhaps the early days of the United States. There is absolutely no historical evidence that the dogwood tree ever grew straight and tall as the legend would have us believe.

Answer 2

The New Testament does not state what the cross was made of. Historians and others who study such things have ascertained it was made of wood since this was what was used at this time for such things i.e. crucifixion.

Answer 3

The Bible does not specify the type of wood used. There is a legend that it was the Dogwood tree, but some believe that is unlikely.
No one truly knows today; neither is it important to the Gospel message.

We don't know because the Bible does not say.
