The candy cane is shaped like a "J" for Jesus and the staff of the "Good Shepard". The red-and-white stripes represent Christ's blood and purity. The three red stripes symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The hardness of the candy represent the Church's foundation on a solid rock. The peppermint flavor represents the use of hyssop, an herb referred to in the OldTestament. A half heart and when two are positioned together, you get the shape of the heart; representing, the heart and soul of love, while God is love. The sweetness represents the sweetness of love.

∙ 13y agoIt is not known. There is an urban legend that they represent the blood of the Christian demigod Jesus (red) and his or his mother's purity (white); and also that the "J" shape is his initial.
These are fallacies for several reasons: The cane was originally a straight white stick, which for unknown reason evolved to a cane shape, with absolutely no record of why the two-tone colour was introduced.
