The Legend Of The Candy Cane



Whether hanging from the boughs of the Christmas tree or peeking out of each stocking, peppermint candy canes say Christmas in a merry and meaningful way.

It's said that the first candy cane was created by a candy maker who wanted to remind everyone of the meaning of Christmas.

He chose white to represent the virgin birth and the purity of Jesus Christ. Then he added red stripes to represent the blood Jesus shed on the cross so we might have eternal life.

The shape of the candy cane has two meanings. Right side up, it is reminiscent of a shepherd's staff, reminding us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd.

Turned the other way, the candy cane forms the letter "J" for Jesus, bringing sweetly to mind that He is the real reason we celebrate Christmas.
