Resurrection Rolls Easter Story

The marshmallow is like Jesus’ body, pure white, without sin.

After they crucified Him, His body was anointed in oil

and spices

wrapped in burial clothes and He was placed in a tomb.

3 days later the tomb was empty!

He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed!

We pray you have a blessed Easter Season. If you have questions about what Easter really is about, please contact me. I would love to share His story with you!

I first posted this Resurrection Rolls recipe in 2013- wow how my kids are growing! Since then, we have added a step at the end of rolling the “tomb” in the butter and the cinnamon sugar on the outside too.  Make them look more like a stone (and are a little sweeter too). Even the teens still love doing this tradition (and often ask, “are we doing Resurrection Rolls mom?” YES!)
