You can follow a recipe... I used the one in the Better Homes and Gardens plaid cookbook. But, I will be honest... I will not be making these again! Not, worth the effort. Way too many steps and dishes dirtied. But, I am glad we did this. It was an awesome lesson on prayer. Did you know that the old saying "tying the knot" to refer to marriage referred to the pretzel knot? It was an old Catholic tradition, typically before easter. Each hole symbolizing the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The knot symbolizes joining and becoming one in marriage. Fun! It also can be used to talk about prayer in that you 1) fold your arms, 2) bow your head... thus forming the pretzel. Wiki says that they may have been given to children for memorizing their prayers back in 610 A.D. There you go!
