candy canes are yummy ---- Long ago, people created a hard rock candy that will symbolize Jesus. The shape J is the first letter of his name and the white shows his purity. The red stripes shows the blood he shed for us.

One day, a candy maker wanted to make a candy that symbolized the true meaning of Christmas. He twisted a candy into a "J." The red is for the blood Jesus shed, and the white is for his purity. That is why we have candy canes on Christmas.

The "J" stands for Jesus, and if you invert it, it looks like a shepherd's staff. The red and white represents Jesus's body and blood.
