About 100 years ago there was a candy maker in Indiana, USA who wanted to invent a candy that told the Christmas message. He made the first Christmas candy cane and this is it's meaning:
-the stick of pure white, hard candy represents Jesus' sinless and pure nature and the bible says He is a "firm foundation".
-if the candy cane is held upright it is the shape of a shepherd's staff. there were shepherds who worshipped Jesus at that first Christmas and the bible says He is the "Good Shepherd".
-when the candy cane is turned upside-down, it is the shape of the letter J, the first letter of the name Jesus and the bible says "His name is above every name".
-the red stripes represent the blood Jesus shed on the cross and the bible says He was born to be our "Saviour".
-the candy cane is breakable so that it can be shared with others and the bible says the message of Jesus is to be shared because it is "Good News".
