We start by telling how and why Jesus died on the cross, then we take PIllsbury cresent rolls and a marshmellow and say that the marshmellow is Jesus and the cresent roll is the linens the put Him in. We tell them to roll the marshmellow ( Jesus) in side the cresent rolls ( the linens) really tightly! After that we tell the kids how Mary and some other women came by and put spices on his body, We shake cinnomon sugar on the marshmellow-cresent rolls to represent that. Finnaly we put the cresent rolls into the oven ( the tomb) and have the kids "stand guard." The best part is, is when the cresent rolls are done and the marshmellow has melted, We tell the kids that Jesus rose again and He is gone. ( I belived it forever whne i was little, now i just make them cuase the taste REALLY good)!
I am going to post the recipe ( down below) so you can make them next year beaucse they taste sooooooo good!
- Ingredients:
- Refrigerator Biscuits-1 roll (Pillsbury or similar)
- Large Marshmallows-1 per biscuit
- Melted butter
- Sugar & Cinnamon mixture - I am not exactly sure on the amounts of butter and cinnamon/sugar, just enough to cover the buns.
Directions:
Bake as directed on the refrigerator biscuit package.
The Marshmallow will melt and the bun will be hollow inside.
Share a passage like John 20 6:7 with your children.When Mary told the disciples the stone had been removed from the entrance, the disciples ran to the tomb. John was the first to arrive and look inside. Peter entered and saw the linen that had been wrapped around Jesus lying flat as if the body evaporated. The tomb was empty! (just like the He's Alive Buns are empty)
