Once upon a time…
a candy maker created the perfect candy to symbolize the true meaning of Christmas.
It was the candy cane.
The white stripes would stand for the purity of Christ and his virgin birth.
The red stripes would signify the pain and death Jesus endured on our behalf.
The hook shape would also be a reminder to all people of the name Jesus & his role as Good Shepherd.

Happy Christmas!
I love to share this story with my Junior Church kiddos but have not done so in a while - thanks for the reminder! I will share it with them this year:)
ReplyDeleteI have always thought this story was a great one to tell children. But adults need to hear it too. Thanks for the reminder.
