The Candy Cane may seem like "just a Christmas candy", but it is really a very symbolic stick of sugar!
This is what the Candy Cane is all about...
The
Candy Cane was first introduced in the late 1880's by a candy-maker in
Indiana. He wanted to make a candy that could be a witness during the
holiday season. He began with a stick of pure, white to show the virgin
birth and the sinless nature of Jesus Christ. The hardness of the candy
was to represent Jesus as the Solid Rock, the foundation of the church,
and the firmness of the promises of God. The white stripes on the Candy
Cane represent the purity of Christ. The small red stripes symbolize
the scourging of Jesus before he was hung on the cross. The large red
stripes show the blood that Jesus shed for each of us on the cross.
The shape of the Candy Cane represents the shepherd's staff because
Jesus is the good shepherd. If you flip the Candy Cane around, you will
notice the letter "J" which is the first letter of Jesus' name.
Have a Merry Christmas and always remember the reason for the season...and the candy cane!
