Resurrection Rolls

In addition to the Lenten Lights devotionals and Playdough Mountain, we plan to make Resurrection Rolls:

 Jesus - 8 Large Marshmallows
The Oil - 1/2 cup melted butter
The Spices - 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 Tbs. cinnamon
Linen Wraps - 1 can Crescent Rolls (8 count)
Tomb - Oven (set at 375 degrees)

Step 1:  Take the marshmallow (symbolizing the body of Christ) and to dip it in the melted butter which is a symbol for the oil. (John 12:2-8)

Step 2:  To symbolize the spices that were put on the body of Jesus to prepare for burial, roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. (John 19:39-40)

Step 3:  Take the crescent rolls out of the package and separate them into 8 triangles. Wrap the marshmallow inside the crescent roll and tightly seal the edges. This serves to remind us of Matthew 27:59.

Step 4:  Put each Resurrection Roll on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven set to 375 degrees. (Mark 15:46)

Step 5:  Bake them for 13 minutes and then put them on a plate to cool. Of course, the marshmallow will melt and the "tomb is empty!" (Matthew 28:5-6)
