Do U Know What The Candy Cane Actually Represents?

Candy canes existed for a long time before people started to put a religous twist on them.

The red and white striped ones that exist today weren't added until the turn of the century.

He sacrifices himself on the cross, and his blood has the meaning of love to the people he is trying to save.

I've heard about the red stripes representing the stripes on Jesus' back where he was whipped. I didn't remember the "J" for Jesus, however. I think I heard it on the Food Network's Unwrapped show.

red represents the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross to take away our sins. The white represents purity
