Why is it Called the Pretzel Run?
The Catholic Church played a leading role in the early history of the pretzel. Around A.D. 610, European monks developed a Lenten “bread” twisted in the shape of crossed arms which were the traditional posture for praying. The pretzels were ideal for Lenten eating, as during that period, dairy and eggs were prohibited during Lent, and pretzels were made with a simple mixture of water, flour and salt. As the custom spread through medieval Europe, the pretzel’s three holes came to represent the Holy Trinity, and the twisty baked good became associated with good luck, long life and prosperity.
