The Meaning of the Candy Cane


I know this may seem a little early but Candy Canes are everywhere so I thought I would go ahead and share this so we can all keep it in mind while we enjoy this Christmas treat!

Many years ago a candy maker wanted to make a candy that would symbolize the true  meaning of Christmas- Jesus.
The hard candy was shaped like a "J" to represent that Jeaus is our rock of all ages.  The candy was made of white to stand for the pureness of Jesus.  The red represents the blood that he shed to save us from our sins.
So the next time you see a candy cane take a minute to remember the real meaning of Christmas.

I have heard this before and forgotton the story but this was an amazing reminder!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the Holiday season...lets not forget what the Holiday really means!
