The Legend Of The Candy Cane

A humble man wished to

use his candymaking art to make a Christmas gift for Christ that came straight from his heart.

First he shaped the candy

into a shepard's staff, a "J"... to stand for the name of Jesus, who was born on Christmas Day.

He used white strips to symbolize Jesus' virgin birth, and His sinlessness and purity during His time on earth.

Finally, he colored the candy

with stripes made out of red, to represent the scourging and the blood that Jesus shed.

He had created the Candy Cane,

to remind us during the season that Christmas is a sweet gift of love... Jesus is the reason.

As you display this holiday decoration,

may it bring joy to your heart to remember the true reason for the Christmas season!
