Why is the red bud tree called the Judas tree?

The story involves both the dogwood tree and the redbud tree, both of which bloom in Spring right around Easter.

The story goes like this:
The dogwood trees came to Jesus after the resurrection, and made a request - Since the wood that was used to crucify our Lord was from the dogwood, they requested that they no longer grow tall enough or strong enough to be used for timber for this purpose.

The Lord agreed, and since that time, the dogwood has grown short in stature, with small limbs, unsuitable to be used in major lumber projects.

Also, because of the request, the Lord also caused beautiful white crosses to bloom on the tree, with a reddish spot of blood in every bloom, and a tiny crown of thorns at the center of the blossom.

The redbud trees came and asked the Lord a favor as well. Since the great traitor Judas Iscariot had hung himself on this tree, they asked the Lord to ensure that never happened again.

The Lord agreed. Henceforth, all redbud trees have grown short in stature, with limbs thin and low to the ground, unsuitable for hangings.

Also, because of the request, the Lord also caused crimson blooms to burst out along the branches like rivulets of blood, to remind one of the blood Christ shed for the sins of the world, and the innocent blood betrayed by Judas. And the leaves henceforth would grow in the shape of hearts, to remind all who look of the endless and boundless love of God for our lost race.

Les paul is okey but Mark and Stratocaster with the clean sound is inaccessible.

Pretty ironic indeed  :o
And also dangerous for next things that might be available. There's a chance that the very nice person who gave this to us won't do this again or others who get their hands on stuff keep it for themselves.

Wise words again Jbaent  :)

I was sitting in the pub with some friends when I received an e-mail and a phonecall. From that moment my friends didn't see a lot of me anymore. I was only listening (not the best sound from my phone without ears) but it was exciting! And I felt privileged and thankfull for the one who made this possible.

A big Thanks Youououou!! to the generous person

I don't see the point this way. When we listen this sample is okey, it's not illegal or something but when the other ones listen the song it's forbidden, disrespect, illegal.... Remember we are not the only ones who love MK. Even most of the fans don't know this site. Thanks for sharing and effort but we don't have the copyrights this song, you know it's not us.

It's not illegal to listen, but it's an official recording (edited recording). Our policy is not to upload official stuff, because of the reason that we don't have the copyrights  , by the way if you do it it will be banned from a lot of sites like youtube. I think for all fans it's a good way too spread it this way. People will find their way to here. Everyone can enjoy listening and the people who make the effort to sign in here must be the fans who also buy the CD.

From my view we listen the sample and they listen the sample. I don't upload the songs  to youtube or somewhere but it's just sample and you'll find it everywhere within a couple of days ;so it's not a big deal and disrespect for the one who sharing it for us thankfully.

Well I caught the second half of it on Private Investigations Radio this morning, (thank you Ingrid.) Lovely to hear something new by MK and the band, as it's been quite a while. I look forward to hearing the full song, but as it stands, it's already going around in my head.
