Candy Canes An Integral Part of Christmas

Legend has it that a choirmaster in the late 17th century handed out these striped sticks to quiet younger children during the long Nativity service, whether or not this is true, candy canes have been around since the 1700’s and have been an integral part of Christmas.

There are several reasons these remain so popular around the holiday season. For one, they are a part of the holiday tradition and are just as much a part of Christmas as most anything. Secondly, they serve as colorful ornaments. Their hooks (said to have been shaped after a shepherd’s) make them easy for kids and adults alike to adorn their Christmas trees with. Thirdly, for many, they carry a lot of the symbolism of the season. Many see the shepherd’s hook as representing Jesus, the shepherd to Christians, the white to represent His purity, and the red to symbolize his blood. And last but not least, they’re a tasty treat, one that kids love to see sticking out of stockings.
