The story goes that a monk was preparing unleavened bread for Lent. He formed the leftover dough into the shape of a pretzel, a shape that also resembled the way Christians prayed, with two arms folded across their chest. It is said the loops stood for the father, son and holy ghost.
The creation was name ‘pretiola’ which is Latin for ‘little reward’. It grew in popularity and became a popular snack in Austria and Germany. In those regions, it became known as the ‘Bretzel’ or ‘Pretzel’.
