Cross History.
The cross is the most common symbol of Christianity today. The Christian cross is a sacred emblem of the Christian faith. The religious crosses are a symbol of redemption, signifying Christ’s death on the holy cross. Christians believe that Jesus’ Crucifixion played a central role in redeeming humanity from its sins, and they regard the holy cross as a sign of redemption. The Christian cross has had an enduring part in the profession of the Christian faith.
Religious crosses have a number of uses in Christian worship. A Christian cross on a staff is carried in many processions. During some ceremonies, members of the clergy or worshipers trace the shape of a cross with a hand or certain fingers. Holy crosses were put up to mark the graves of heroes, kings, and bishops during the Middle Ages. Often religious crosses were set up in market places. People preached beneath religious crosses. Even today churches are often built with their floor plan in the shape of a cross picture. Select this link to view our Holy Cross and Iron Cross.

Legend of The Candy Cane.
Candy Canes are a stick of striped, hard candy bent into a hook at one end. They have been associated with Christmas for over three centuries. Legend attributes the origins of the candy cane to the choirmaster of cologne Cathedral in the 1670’s. Bothered by the noise of children attending the church’s nativity scene, he had candies made up in the shape of a shepherd’s crook and gave them to the young children to encourage them to be quiet. The shape of the cane soon led to them being hung from German Christmas trees, where sweets were a common decoration. Select this link to view our Santas Elves and Children's Santa Claus Costume.

Candy Cane.
The candy cane to many is a delicious Christmas treat. Centuries ago, a simple candy maker needed to create a perfect gift for the King. The candy was shaped into an upside down “J” in order to represent the Good Shepherd’s staff. However, the candy maker wanted it to mean more. He added white and red stripes. The white represented the birth of Christ and the red would stand for the blood Jesus shed. The candy maker knew this would be the most perfect gift the King had ever received.
