The Christmas markets in those times were full of wonderful gifts to buy.  Bakers made gingerbreads and wax ornaments.  There were many fine crafters there, making all kinds of goodies.  Fine foods, clothes, flowers, and colorful trinkets of all sorts.  It is said the food items found at these fairs were used as symbols.  The food represented Plenty.  The red flowers represented - Knowledge.  The white one - Innocence!

Genesis 18:6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
