Our candy cane is so old as a symbol that we have nearly forgotten its origin. The candy is made in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. The charm features candy cane rendered in bright enamel over a shiny stainless steel support. The stripes are painted in green though the ribbon accentuates the image in symbolic red color. Consider it a traditional holiday food for your holiday collection or symbol of the humble roots of Christianity!
