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