About Shepherds Crook

Used to aid in balance on a grassy slope or for added grip on muddy land in a time before cleats or sneakers were invented, the Shepherds Crook was a highly functional accessory for centuries! The crook could be placed under the arm for added support in walking, or around the neck of a sheep to gather them back to the flock. Additionally, they were used as a light weapon to fend off intruders.

In terms of Christmas, the candy cane is shaped like a festive version of the curved staff as carried by the shepherds who saw the Star of Bethlehem. The shepherd's staff also became symbolic of Jesus as "The Great Shepherd."

Dressing up with a Shepherds Crook

Great for a Joseph, Moses, Shepherd, and even a Little Bo Peep costume in any holiday play or for a costume party, the Shepherds Crook is a vital accessory to completing your look. They come in a wide variety of sizes and styles to fit a player of any age from the 69" version to the 30" version, more appropriate for kids.
