Resurrection Rolls

1 can crescent rolls (8 count)

1 T. butter, melted

8 large marshmallows

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 T. sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a small bowl & mix cinnamon & sugar together in a separate bowl.

Give each child a triangle of crescent roll dough (represents the cloth that Jesus' body was wrapped in).

Give each child a large marshmallow (represents Jesus' body).

Have each child dip the marshmallow in melted butter (representing the oils of embalming) then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture (representing the sweet spices used to anoint the body).

Then have them wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the dough, bringing the sides around the completely seal the marshmallow inside (represents Jesus' body being wrapped in cloth after death).

Place each roll, seams down, into paper liner in a muffin tin.

Bake for 11-12 minutes. (The oven represents the tomb).

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls & discover that they are empty inside-just like Jesus' tomb after He was risen.
