At our meeting tonight, we talked about how we as Latter-Day Saints focus on Christ’s resurrection during Easter, and not so much his death. To illustrate this, Sis. Hansen baked the girls “Resurrection Rolls” (for complete instructions, go here.)
Basically, you need the following:
- Marshmallow = Christ’s body
- Melted butter = oils for anointing
- Cinnamon sugar = spices used to prepare body for burial
- Crescent roll dough triangle = burial linens
- Oven = the tomb
First, you dip/cover the marshmallow in the melted butter. Next, you roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Third, you place the marshmallow in the center of a crescent roll triangle, roll it up tightly, and bake as directed on the crescent roll tube (or until the marshmallow has melted).
This is what you get:
The marshmallow has disappeared! Just like Christ’s body was no longer in the tomb.
And here are the FABULOUS Longwood Ward Activity Day Girls!
We also started making egg-shaped ornaments for our very own Easter decoration, but I was too busy to get pictures. The ornaments had pictures of Christ or images that reminded us of him. All the girls need to do to finish up their project is to find a nice little branch in their backyard to hang the ornaments on and a pot/vase/bucket to stick it in.
Don’t forget! If you finish this project, please take a picture and email it to me so I can post it on the blog for us all to see!
And a BIG thank you to Sis. Hansen for her help tonight. *HUGS*
