A Little History on Pretzels:
Bretzel is the German word for pretzel.
Pretzels were first made by monks in A.D. 610 and were first called pretiolas.
They were given to children as a reward for learning their prayers.
The three holes in a pretzel are said to represent the trinity: God in three persons.
Pretzels began to symbolize long life and God's Blessing.
Since there were so many German immigrants in Pennsylvania it is no wonder
there are several pretzel bakeries here. An early traveler in the late 1850's
passing through Lititz, Pa., exchanged a pretzel recipe for a hot meal. The traveler moved on but the recipe was given to Julius Sturgis,
who in 1861 opened America's first commercial pretzel bakery in Lititz.
On New Year's Eve in Lititz, Pennsylvania a giant pretzel is dropped
to celebrate the new year.
