Resurrection Rolls

On one of the YW message boards  (back in 1999-- from Debbie McEwen):

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Melted Butter
Large Marshmallows
Cinnamon
Sugar
Pre Heat oven to 350 degrees

Give each child a triangle of crescent rolls.  The crescent roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in in the tomb.

Give each child a marshmallow.  This represents Jesus.

Have them dip the marshmallow in melted butter.  This represents the oils of embalming
Then dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar.  This represents the spices used to annoint the body.

Then wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll (not like a typical crescent roll-roll...but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside)  This represents the wrapping of Christ's body after his death.

Place in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.  The oven represents the tomb.

When the rolls have cooled slightly open the rolls to discover that Jesus (marshmallow) is no longer there.  HE IS RISEN!  The marshmallow melts and the crescent roll is puffed up but empty.

HAPPY EASTER!
