Today we told the story of the candycane to our middle school girls.
How a candymaker wanted to tell the story of Jesus's birth so made candy shaped like a shepherd's crook to tell the Christmas story.
The candy cane when held upside down looks like a J for Jesus.
The white reminds us of purity.
The red reminds us of Jesus' blood shed for us.
The three narrow stripes tell us that Jesus is part of the Trinity — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
And when we share it with others, we are reminded to share the Gospel of Jesus with all we meet.
Merry Christmas!
