LEGEND OF THE CANDY CANE




Hi!     Welcome to the LEGEND OF THE CANDY CANE



LEGEND OF THE CANDY CANE






Once upon a time long ago, a candymaker

wanted to make a piece of candy

that would remind his customers to celebrate

  Jesus at Christmas. He created the candy cane  

as his special gift to the Lord.



The candymaker began with white candy

that stood for the purity of the Lord.



He shaped it like a "J" for Jesus.



When he turned it upside down

he saw it became the staff of his Shepherd.



The red stripes would remind everyone

of the cost of their salvation

that came through Jesus' blood.



He added the peppermint flavor

to symbolize the spices which were gifts

from the wisemen.



Today this simple candy cane

still reminds us to celebrate

the sweetest gift of Christmas -

JESUS!





I would like to extend a THANK YOU to Bunny for the background grafic



and to Timothy N. Traver for the Poem.



I would like to extend a very special "THANKS" to my Friend, Dale Shelhamer for all of his help and encouragement.
