The 1st Day of Christmas

On the 1st Day of Christmas, we received one candy cane. Do you know the legend of the Candy Cane? Neither did we. Here it is:

A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness for his savior, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. The white symbolizes the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus. The hardness of the candy symbolizes the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church and the firmness of the promises of God. The candy maker made the candy into the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior, and a symbol of to represent the staff of the Good Shepherd. The candy maker decided to stain it with red strips, representing the stripes Jesus received prior to His crucifixion for our healing. The large red stripe represents the shedding of his blood on the cross for our salvation.

For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. John 3:16
