The History of the Candy Cane

The red, as many of us can guess, symbolizes Jesus’ blood that he shed for us on the cross. Red uniformly tends to represent this in Christianity. Jesus’ blood plays a massive role in the religion.

More importantly, the choirmaster could instruct the children to consider how Jesus became the “Good Shepherd.”
