Resurrection Rolls

(from sfarlow’s recipe box)

The Lesson (I talk about each thing with the kids as we make the rolls):
The marshmallow represents Jesus.
The butter/cinnamon sugar represents the oils and spices that were used to anoint the body of Jesus.
The crescent rolls represent the cloth that Jesus’ body was wrapped in after death.
The oven represents the tomb.
Once the rolls are baked they become hollow, representing that the tomb is empty and Jesus has risen!

Cook time: 18 minutes
