Hundreds journey to a remote Yuha Desert grove of Crucifixion Thorns each Easter week. The 200 trees, possibly related to the Holy Land species, draw pilgrims who seek quiet reflection and a sense of connection to the Easter story amid stark desert beauty. Mary Verdugo of Los Angeles describes the experience as enriching the Easter season.
