Embroider a Red Rose to Represent Christ's Passion

A Passion Rose on a Chrismon tree, has red petals
 with either gold, white or silver stems and petals.

       During the Middle Ages the rose was cultivated in monastery gardens and used for medicinal purposes. It became a symbol in religious writing and iconography in different images and settings, to invoke a variety of intellectual and emotional responses. The mystic rose appears in Dante's Divine Comedy, where it represents God's love. By the twelfth century, the red rose had come to represent Christ's passion, and the blood of the martyrs.
