Judas Tree

Legend says that the tree upon which Judas hanged himself was the Cercis siliquastrum - a tree that is now known as the "Judas Tree." It is a beautiful tree, native to the Mediterranean region, with brilliant deep pink flowers in the spring -- flowers that are said to have blushed in shame after Judas's suicide.

Judas Tree. Cercis siliquastrum

Verses:

  • Matthew 27:5
