He is Risen!

I know I am late in posting this, but I am catching up!
Easter time, we made Resurrection rolls and did the Resurrection Eggs.

The rolls are crescent rolls, that represent the clean linen cloth that Jesus was wrapped in,
the large marshmallow represents Jesus, it is rolled in cinnamon and sugar (burial spices)
and wrapped in clean linen clothes. Then the roll is placed in the tomb (handy dandy oven),
and after 3 days (10-15 minutes), the stone is rolled away (open the oven).

Where is Jesus? He is Risen!! (the marshmallow melts into the roll and it is GONE!)
As you do each step, you read the story of Joseph requesting the body of Jesus, the burial of Jesus,
and the two Mary's who come to the tomb to see Him.

The Resurrection Eggs are one dozen eggs, each with a symbol inside and a corresponding scripture
(ie. a small nail=Jesus nailed to the cross, a purple cloth=mockery of Jesus as king, a silver coin=the betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver) The last egg is empty, because He is Risen!

We had so much fun saying all day with our kids "HE IS RISEN!"
They would say, "HE IS RISEN INDEED!"

Even my 4 year old at church was saying it to people as he walked down the hallway! Everyone was laughing......

Adorable.
