Candy Cane Christmas Tree
Uploaded: December 10, 2007
Have you pondered the shape of the candy cane? Legend states the beginnings of the candy cane are Christian. The shape resembles a shepherd’s crook. It has also been found that the candy cane was given to children who learned their prayers. The shape of the candy cane, like a ‘J’, signifies Jesus. Since the church was founded on a solid rock, this is related to the hardness of the candy. Hyssop, a cleansing plant mentioned in the Old Testament, has a peppermint flavor. Christ’s blood and His purity are represented by the red and white stripes.
