Why Candy Canes Celebrate the Season...

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry I have been absent for so long. I have been in the process of moving to another state and it's been crazy. So finally, I have come back to post why we use the Candy Cane to celebrate the season. After all, Jesus is the reason for the season so we should know how some of the other traditions we have relate to this. Having candy canes at Christmas time is one of them.

There once was a German candy maker. He wanted to make a Christmas candy that reflected Christ Jesus.

1. He made it white, to reflect the purity of Christ Jesus.

2. He made it sweet, to show how sweet Jesus love is for us.

3. He made it hard, to show Jesus is the rock of our salvation.

4. He made it in the shape of a shepherds staff, because Jesus is our shepherd.

5. When you turn it up-side-down, it makes the letter "J" for Jesus.

6. The three red stripes, represent, the stripes Jesus bore for our infirmities.

7. The thick red stripe, represents the blood Jesus shed to pay for our sins.
