1 tube of crescent rolls (makes 8)

butter

large marshmallows

Sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven according to crescent roll directions.
2. Give child a crescent roll (represents Jesus)
3. Give child a marshmallow (represents the cloth Jesus was wrapped in during his burial)
4. Tell child to dip marshmallow in melted butter. (represents burial oils for his body)
5. Tell child to roll marshmallow in cinnamon and sugar. (represents spices used to anoint his body)
6. Place marshmallow in crescent roll. Fold dough around each side of the marshmallow. Do not roll it. The marshmallow will leak out. (represents the wrapping of Jesus’ body after his death).
7. Place in the oven for 10-12 minutes. (oven represents the tomb).
