ORIGIN OF THE NEW YEAR PRETZEL
There are many theories about when and where pretzels became a good luck symbol for the New Year…
Some people believe it began in 600 A.D. when a monk in France made pretzels out of leftover dough- in early
medieval times a bread pretzel was broken like a wishbone at the end of the marriage ceremony- eventually
becoming a symbol of good luck in religious paintings- especially with St. Bartholomew-
Others think it began around 610 A.D. when French monks offered them as a reward to children for learning their
prayers and they were called “Pretiola” which means little reward- Children in Austria and Germany began to tie
“pretiola” or what they called “bretzein” around their necks at the beginning of the New Year in hopes of receiving
prosperity, health and good fortune.
German immigrants brought this tradition to the United States where they became “pretzels” and German bakers
made pretzel coffeecakes for the New Year so that everyone could partake a piece to insure their own prosperity,
health and good fortune in the New Year-
We have been part of this tradition since the 1930’s- below is a list of the type of pretzels we make. Please call and
order your favorite for this holiday season.
Pretzels
Come in two types of dough, sweet dough and danish dough.
Can be filled with apricot, raisin, cherry nut, strawberry, poppy, pineapple or nut filling.
You can get them glazed, iced, and decorated with cherries and nuts for that special touch.
