The Legend of the

 Candy Cane

 

A humble man wished to use

his candy making are

to make a Christmas gift for Christ

that came straight from his heart.

First he shaped the candy

into a Shepard's staff, a “J” ---

to stand for the name of Jesus,

 who was born on Christmas Day.

He used white stripes to symbolize

 Jesus’ virgin birth,

and His sinlessness and purity

during His time on earth.

Finally, he colored the candy

with stripes made out of red,

to represent the scourging

and the blood that Jesus shed.

He had created the Candy Cane,

to remind us during this season

that Christmas is a sweet gift of love ---

Jesus is the reason.

 

But each of us was given grace according to the

measure of Christ’s gift

Ephesians 4:7

 

 May you find God’s sweet love at the heart of your Christmas!
