Gingerbread man
 

“Gingerbread man has become a part of traditions at Christmas.”

 

An ancient story passed through years in Europe about a pair of lovers separated because of war.

Worrying they could not find each other in their old age, the couple started to sell gingerbread men decorated like each other in their village.

With this story passed on, it adds a touch of romance to the gingerbread man. In addition, It is so charming that Shakespeare once said,

“An I had but one penny in the world, thou shouldst have it to buy gingerbread.”

“Ginger” was the most expensive spice.

Only used in festive cakes and pastries a thousand years ago.

The tradition of making ginger cookies can be traced back to the Crusades in the eleventh century.

During this era, ginger was one of the most expensive spices and was considered a waste to use in daily meals.

Therefore, it was only until Christmas that people baked cookies with gingers, becoming the origin of gingerbread and its connection with Christmas.

The origin of the gingerbread man

It all started in the palace of Queen Elizabeth I in England.

The first documented instance of figure-shaped ginger cookies was at the court of Elizabeth I of England.

She had the gingerbread figures made and presented in the likeness of some of her important guests which brought the human shape of the gingerbread cookies and presented them as gifts.

Later, it generated a legend saying that an unmarried woman can meet her “prince charming” after having the gingerbread man.
