Today is Easter and what a wonderful reason to celebrate! We of course had a visit from the Easter bunny and had an egg hunt and all of the fun activities, but my favorite part was talking about Christ and the resurrection. We had a lesson this morning about the last supper, Garden of Gethsemane, the betrayal, the crucifixion, the burial, and the resurrection of Christ using the Gospel Art Picture Kit (love that). After the picture of the burial, we went into the kitchen and made resurrection rolls. It is so neat. Here is what we did...
Everyone got half of a large marshmallow. It represents Jesus.
Dip it in melted butter. This represents annointing Jesus in oils.
Then you roll it in cinnamon sugar. This represents the spices put on Christ's body.
Place the marshmallow on a crescent roll and wrap it up, sealing the edges well. This represents the linens wrapped arounf Christ.
Place in oven. Represents the tomb.
When they are done baking, open one up. It is hollow. The marshmallow is gone. Christ has risen!
A yummy breakfast with a very important lesson!
Here is a slide show of our other Easter festivities.
