The Candy Cane

 

White Candy

White symbolizes the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus

Hard Candy

Symbolizes the solid rock, the foundation of the Church and the firmness of the promise of God

Peppermint Flavor

Like that of the biblical herb Hyssop which was used for medicinal purposes and symbolizes healing

“J” Shape

To represent  the name of Jesus who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the “Good Shepherd” with which He reaches down into  the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who like sheep have gone astray.

Red Stripes

Red color symbolizes the atoning sacrifice

Large Red Stripes

Blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.

Smaller Stripes

The stripes of scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. Three stripes also symbolize Trinity- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Candy

Meant to be broken and shared, just as His body was broken that we might share in His inheritance and also that we might share it with others.
