Golden and Noble Works


“A wife too should regard her duties in the same light, as she suckles the child, rocks and bathes it, and cares for it in other ways; and as she busies herself with other duties and renders help and obedience to her husband. These are truly golden and noble works."
Martin Luther

Resurrection Rolls - From Kristi





Kristi writes:


In preparation for Easter, here’s a tasty treat to try with your children (or your husband).

Resurrection Rolls


1 tube of crescent roll dough
1/2 cup (or less) melted butter
Large marshmallows
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Give each child a triangle of dough - representing the cloth in which Jesus was wrapped
Give each child a marshmallow - representing Jesus' purity
Have each child dip the marshmallow in melted butter - representing the oils of embalming
Then have them dip the butter marshmallow into the sugar/cinnamon mixture - representing the spices used to anoint the body of Jesus
Wrap the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent dough (bring up the sides and seal the marshmallow inside) - representing the wrapping of Jesus' body after His death


Place in preheated oven for 10 minutes - representing the tomb, pretending like it was 3 days!!!

When the rolls are cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls and discover that the marshmallow is gone - representing the empty cloth and tomb.  JESUS is RISEN!

  2. So I tried this and they didn't work! The marshmallows poked their way out and ended up looking like white blobs coming out of a tomb. Which in itself was kind of cool - Jesus didn't stay in the tomb, did he boys? But I was bummed it didn't work the "normal" way. I'll try again next year...!
