The
Symbolism of the Candy Cane
by
Alana Lee
Turned
upside down, the cane makes a “J”
for
Jesus who was born on Christmas Day.
Turn
it upright like the Good Shepherd’s staff
Who
pleads to the Father on your behalf.
At
the top you’ll see the saving crook,
Used
on the lost sheep He never forsook.
The
stripes whisper softly “By his stripes we are healed.”
And
the red represents His blood that was
spilled.
The
white gives us hope to become pure as He,
by
forsaking our sins, white as snow they will be.
The
peppermint oil that flavors this treat,
is
known for its strong healing properties.
Now
each time you see the striped candy cane,
Remember,
dear child, He calls out your name.
