Legend has it that what started off as a makeshift pacifier for unruly children overcome with boredom with medieval Christmas sermons soon became a worldwide phenomenon that teaches through symbolism the meaning of Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ--the Good Shepherd--announced first to lowly shepherds of Bethlehem who were keeping their flocks by night, is the meaning behind the Candy Cane of Christmas.

In this Advent series, Pastor Ronald H. Gann examines the Promise, the Proclamation, the Proof, the Prophecy, and the Premiere of the Christ child as well as the Christmas traditions behind the candy stick, Christmas tree, and wreath.
