Significance of the imaam using a "stick" at the time of the jumuah khutbah

Q: I always wondered what is the significance of the imaam using a "stick" at the time of the jumuah khutbah?

A: It is a sunnah to hold the stick while giving the khutbah (sunnah ghair muakkadah).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
