The Story of the Candy Cane
Long ago, a candy maker wanted to make a piece of candy that would remind his customers to celebrate Jesus at Christmas. He created the candy cane as his special gift to the Lord.
The candy maker began with white candy that stood for the purity of the Lord. He shaped it like a "J" for Jesus. When he turned it upside down, he saw it became the staff of his Good Shepherd. The red stripes would remind everyone of the cost of their salvation that came through Jesus' blood. He added the peppermint flavor to symbolize the spices that were gifts from the Wise Men.
Today this simple candy still reminds us to celebrate the sweetest gift of Christmas -- JESUS!
"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9:15
