Pretzels have a place in Christianity. This goes back to 610 A.D. and an unnamed Italian monk. These were given as rewards for children who learned their prayers. They were originally called prestiola meaning little reward in Italian. They were said to represent the crossed arms over the chest while prayers were being said. It has also been said that this represented the Holy Trinity being in three parts.
