The 15th and 16th century Spaniards saw the parts of this flower as representing various parts of Christ's crucifixion, so they named it the Passion Flower. (Lauritzen Gardens).

I at least see one of the aspects that could go with the crucifixion. At any rate, it is a pretty flower. Good one, Jeff!

Jeff, tradition has it that Spanish missionaries used passion flowers as an illustration to convey the crucifixion story of Jesus Christ. When they discovered passion flowers in America, they saw in the five chalices and five petals a reference to ten of the twelve apostles: Peter and Jude are excluded. The three pistils resembled the nails that nailed Jesus Christ to the cross. The corona looked like the crown of thorns of Christ. The serpentine tendrils resembled a whip. The three bracts represented the three Marys (Jesus' mother, Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene) at the cross. The blue of the flower referred to heaven or the blue robe of Mary.
Excellent capture again!
