This is a fun Easter recipe that I have done with Jaymi for 3 years now. It really teaches the story of the resurrection, in a fun (and edible) way!
Take a roll of Pillsbury crescent rolls, open and separate.
Preheat the oven (as directed on package).
Explain how the crescent roll symbolizes the tomb that Jesus' body was put in after he died.
Explain that you are using a marshmallow (small one) to symbolize Jesus' body.
'annoint' his body with oil (melted butter/margarine) and sprinkle with spices (cinnamon) - explain that they used to do this to the body to make it smell good and bless it.
Wrap the marshmallow up in the crescent roll, making sure that it is sealed everywhere (pinching the sides to seal), explaining that it is symbolizing when Jesus was put in the tomb, and it was sealed up tight.
Put the crescent rolls in the oven and bake as directed on the package.
While you're waiting, explain how Jesus' body was there for three days, and no one could get into the tomb.
Explain that after three days, they went back to the tomb and noticed that it was open.
After the crescent rolls have cooled a bit, break one open and 'discover' that the marshmallow is gone! Explain how Jesus' body had disappeared because he rose, etc....
