Beautiful !

I imagine everyone knows the legend... but just in case....

•The stigmas representing the 3 Nails used in the Crucifixion.

•The style, the sponge used to moisten Christ's lips with vinegar.

•The five stamens the color of blood depict the 5 Wounds that Christ received.

•The 72 corona filaments tipped with blood red, were described as reflecting the traditional number of thorns in the crown of thorns.

•The central column- against which He was scourged.

•The ten sepals and petals represent the 10 Apostles (excluded are Judas and Peter).

•The spiraled tendrils-the lash of Christ's Scourging

•The leaves- the head of the Centurion's Spear.The under-side of the leaves were marked with dark spots to represent the thirty pieces of silver.

•The round fruit- The World Christ came to save.The fragrance - The Spices prepared by the Holy Women

Thank you Pam for this old religious interpretation.

Nice shot, and have had passion flowers all my (gardening) life and was only vaguely aware of this story and certainly not in so much detail!

Pretty!
