Origins of Candy Cane!

Candy Cane is so popular that is one of decorations for Christmas or not. It has many flavors but the better are peppermint and cinnamon.
Candy Cane became famous thanks a German-Swedish immigrant in 1847. His legend tells about that candy cane first was straight as a stick and then it became a J-Shape thanks to a German choirmaster. It is said that during service one evening, the children were very noisy and they don't give attention at choirmaster. To keep them quiet he gave them a long, white, sugar candy stick. Since giving sweets at church was considered sacrilegious but he bent these sticks to make them look like a Shepherd's cane and attached a religious significance to them. It is a representation of Jesus because the white color is the purity of Christ, the stripes represent his sacrifice and the color red symbolizing his blood.
