Resurrection Resources: Resurrection Rolls

Here is a recipe and devotion we have done with our children as part of our Resurrection Sunday celebration. I got the recipe and only slighted adapted it from here.

Resurrection Rolls

• One can crescent rolls
• 8 marshmallows (one for each roll or 2-3 minis)
• Melted butter
• Cinnamon sugar (1 part cinnamon to 3 parts sugar)
• Bible

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Read John chapter 19.
2. Unroll the crescent rolls.
3. Take a marshmallow, symbolizing Jesus: pure and without sin, and roll it in the butter. This represents the embalming oils.
4. Then roll the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon sugar, symbolizing the spices used in burial.
5. Wrap the marshmallow in a crescent roll, securely covering it. This represents verse 40, “they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths.”
6. Put the rolls in the oven. Bake according to the package directions. This symbolizes Jesus being laid in the tomb.
7. While the rolls are baking, read John 20:1-18.
8. When the rolls are finished baking and have cooled enough to handle, break one open to discover what happened to “Jesus”! He is not there!

He is risen indeed!
