The symbol of the shepherds crook is an ancient one, representing the humble shepherds who were first to worship the newborn Christ. The white color of the Christmas candy symbolizes the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus. The hardness of the candy symbolizes the solid rock of the Gospel, the foundation the church is built upon, and the firmness of the promises made by God. The candies are made in a "J" shape to represent the name of Jesus and the shape of the staff of the "Good Shepherd". And the three red stripes on the candy cane represent the Godhead and the blood shed by Christ to let us have the promise of the eternal life.
"Let us remember this Christmas Season that there is one God and one Shepherd over all the earth."~~(1 Nephi 13:41)
