A long time ago in the lovely groves of Lebanon were born three Cedars. And cedars, as everyone knows, grow very very slowly. Therefore, they have had centuries and centuries of reflection and thinking about Life and Death, about Nature and Humanity.
When they invented the alphabet: They saw and remembered how on the land of Lebanon, arrived the messengers of king Solomon; in battle with the Assyrians, this land was shrouded in smoke of battle and bathed in blood of thousands and thousands of people. They saw the prophet Elijah. And past them, for centuries caravans Laden with goods.
And then one fine day the Cedars were talking about the future.
The first Cedar said
— I would like to turn into a throne, on which sat the most powerful king on earth.
The second Cedar said
— I would like to become a part of something like that forever transform Evil into Good.

Somehow many years later and within a modest village house people sat at the table, made from a Second Cedar. And before they began to eat, one of the guests said a few special words over the bread and wine standing on the table.
And then the Second Cedar realized that his dream had come true. And in that moment, it serves to support not only the Cup of the wine and the dish with the bread, but also the Union between the Human and the Divine.
And the next day two of the Third planks of Cedar formed a cross. A few hours brought the wounded man and — horror of horrors! — nailed him. Third Cedar in confusion began to lament the cruel fate.
And only on the third day he realized the true meaning of what is happening! Man, dying on the cross was the light of the World. But the Cross together from this cedar has been transformed from instruments of torture to a Symbol o
