  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.
