The correct answer is option A - Shepherds.
In ancient times, candy canes were created as Christian symbols representing the blood and purity of Jesus. The peppermint-flavored, red-and-white-striped sugary candy cane can be found everywhere at Christmas time and during Saint Nicholas Day.
According to folklore, in 1670, in Cologne, Germany, the choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral, wishing to remedy the noise caused by children in his church during the Living Crèche tradition of Christmas Eve, asked a local candy maker for some "sugar sticks" for them.
In order to justify the practice of giving candy to children during worship services, he asked the candy maker to add a crook to the top of each stick, which would help children remember the shepherds who visited the infant Jesus.
