Just for fun! Besides, who would want just a plain white piece of candy?
AnswerThe cane itself represents a shepherd's crook. Some theologians believe the stripes represent the purity and blood of Jesus. Others disagree and believe they are simply "there".The man who invented the candy "cane", as a Christmas treat, wanted it to be a "J" to represent Jesus. However, people turned his "J"s upside down and called them 'candy canes'. Then people assumed they were meant to represent a shepherd's 'crook'. The part about the stripes representing the purity and blood of Jesus is true.

The candy was originally a white sugar stick that was shaped into a shepherd's staff by a German choirmaster in the 1670s. That symbolizes Jesus as the Good Shepherd.

∙ 13y agoThe candy cane got it's stripes when it was created. The person who created it was a Christian and wanted to make an impact on the world for God. He had an idea. The cane part represents that God is our shepherd, and we are the sheep. He's our protector. The red stripes represent the blood Jesus shed on the Cross for us. And the white stripes represent how He took away our sins and how we were washed white as snow.
Hope you enjoyed this answer.
