The Ancient Greeks and Egyptians often used gingerbread for ceremonial purposes. gingerbread was a favorite food of an Armenian monk, Gregory of Nicopolis, brought gingerbread to Europe around 992 AD and taught French Christians to bake it. Gingerbread was often used in religious ceremonies and was baked to be sturdy as it was usually molded into images of saints. In England, gingerbread biscuits were sold around the 17th century in monasteries, pharmacies, and farmers’ markets. The German version of gingerbread cookies is known as Lebkuchen are often heart-shaped and decorated with names and messages of love written in icing.
