                      TheMessage of the Candy Cane 
  
In the late 1800,s a candy maker in Indiana wanted to express the 
    meaning of Christmas through a symbol made of candy. 
He began with a stick of pure white candy.  White to symbolize 
    the Virgin birth and the sinless nature of Jesus. 
He formed this candy in a staff to represent the "Good Shepherd" 
Jesus is the loving shepard who came to the world to lift up the 
      fallen lambs who, like sheep, have gone astray. 
The candy maker then added three stripes to show the 
      scourging Jesus received , and by these stripes we were healed. 
The 
      large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so 
           that we could have thr promise of eternal life. 
  
The candy cane serves as a 
lasting reminder of what 
 Christmas is really all 
about.  It is a witness to the 
 wonder of Jesus and His 
great love that came down 
 at Christmas and is here 
  for you eternally.
