“And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” Luke 24 2-3 ESV
This tradition is one our family used for many Easter breakfasts. It is a great visual tool for children to understand that Jesus did not stay in that tomb! These can be used for a class or lesson during the Easter season or just a great time to spend teaching your kids the real meaning of Easter.
1 can crescent rolls
2 Tbls. cinnamon
8-Large marshmallows
2 Tbls. Sugar
¼ cup melted butter
(you can adjust the amount of depending on how many you want to make)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar or use a shaker.
4. Melt the butter and spread on the dough. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. Place marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle. Carefully wrap the dough around the marshmallow. Pinch the seams together tightly to seal in marshmallow as it melts. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat.
5. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Cut the rolls open when cooled. There will be a hole where the marshmallows melted and the truth of the empty tomb will show!
