There are numerous accounts on the origin of pretzels, as well as the origin of the name; most agree that they have Christian backgrounds and were invented by European monks. According to several sources, and The History of Science and Technology, by Bryan Bunch and Alexander Hellemans, in 610 AD an Italian monk invents pretzels as a reward to children who learn their prayers. He calls the strips of baked dough, folded to resemble arms crossing the chest, 'pretiola' ("little rewards") ~Wikipedia
