Meaning of Christmas Album - Day Seven

Day Seven

Again Santa reached into his bag and this time he brought forth a tiny red and white striped cane. As he hung it on the tree he spoke softly. "The candy cane is a stick of hard white candy. White to symbolize the virgin birth and sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock the foundation of the church, and the firmness of God's promises.The candy cane is in the form of a "J" to represent  the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth. It also represents the Good Shepherd's crook, which he used to reach down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who like all sheep have gone astray. The original candy cane had three small red stripes, which are the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed, and a large red stripe that represents the shed blood of Jesus, so that we can have the promise of eternal life."
