The Tale of the Christmas Candy Cane: From Faith to Trending Gift
The Christmas Candy Cane is the trending gift of today, recognized for its distinct design and minty sweet flavor. Together with gift box designs full of style and luxury, it’s no wonder that as the Christmas season approaches, there’s a rush to order these sweet delights. But who would think that this simple Candy Cane would have an interesting journey through time from its origins to its current popularity?
The Christmas Candy Cane: A Sweet Symbol of Faith Over 300 Years Old
The story of the Christmas Candy Cane goes back over 300 years. Originally, they were simple white sticks, crafted by hardening sugar. Around the same time, the tradition of celebrating the birth of Jesus started in Thailand, introducing the use of Christmas trees as an essential symbol. Trees were adorned with Jupa’Ju Candy, cookies, chocolates, and other Christmas ornaments, bringing beauty to the tree and joy to children.
Later, in 1670, in the Cologne Cathedral in Germany, choir singers symbolized their faith using long candy sticks, bent to resemble shepherd's staffs. This recalled the shepherds who, guided by the Bethlehem star, traveled to the birthplace of Jesus in just one night. Besides, these candy shepherds' staffs were distributed to children in the cathedral, marking the beginning of the Candy Cane’s evolution as a symbol of faith.
During the 20th century, candy canes evolved with the addition of beautiful colors. The three spirals represent the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The white signifies the purity of Christ, while the red symbolizes His sacrifice for the faithful. Its texture, both sticky and firm, is reminiscent of the unity of Christians. The minty flavor harkens back to ancient herbs symbolic of the Old Testament.
Decorating Christmas with Candy Cane Ornaments
The Candy Cane Christmas ornament has gained popularity for adorning Christmas trees due to its profound symbolism and aesthetic beauty when paired with other Christmas ornaments. For instance, alongside the Snowflakes, Christmas ribbons, Santa's Socks, Christmas bells, and Christmas balls.
A popular idea is to go traditional by hanging actual candy canes, sweets, and chocolates on the Christmas tree. This delights the children who can pick their favorite treats, adding to the festive spirit. Additionally, ordering a Candy Cane Christmas gift box from online stores to distribute among the kids can rekindle the joy of ancient Christmas traditions in Thailand.
The Candy Cane Christmas ornament is more than just a sweet treat. For Christians, turning the cane upside down forms the letter J, representing Jesus. Given its widespread appeal in taste and symbolism, it's no wonder many seek to buy Christmas candy canes. As the festive season approaches, numerous confectionery stores in Thailand offer these beloved treats.
