Thank you for sharing that recipe. I have done something similiar to demonstrate how Jesus’tomb was empty. Crescent rolls are the tomb. A marshmallow is Jesus dead body wrapped in white cloth. Eash child makes one. First, sprinkle cinnamon on the marshmallow to represent the spices used to preserve dead bodies. Roll the crescent dough around the marshmallow so it is concealed. Baked in oven, as directed on crescent can. The marshmallow will melt in the oven, leaving the “tomb” empty. Sorry I don’t have the Bible references for this.

@plonkee – Yep, it’s your basic meringue recipe. The way it’s written, you read the corresponding bible verse after each corresponding ingredient. I’ve switched it around and done the Bible reading before, though. It doesn’t really matter.

@Angela – If I can get Jim to write the easter letter today, I’ll be sending the cards out tomorrow. I don’t have great pics of the kids, though. I was planning on doing the cards last week, but Sam got sick. Reason #354 why procrastinating is a bad thing. :)

@Lee – yes, that’s a teaspoon of vinegar.

Is that a teaspoon of vinegar? I assume so, but just wanted to make sure.

Thanks! I have been looking for this recipe to add to our Easter Celebrations. We also have the recurrection egg set which is great also. Say what about those Easter cards you were going to send instead of Christmas cards??? :)!

Thanks so much for this. I printed out a copy to give to my sister’s. They will appreciate it as much as I do. I can’t wait for my son to have children so I can share it with them. I really enjoy reading your blog, I am so glad I found it.

Ah, thanks Plonkee, I was thinking this recipe seemed familiar- then I read your comment and realised they were meringues! I think the story linking them is a great way of telling the Easter story to children. But is it wrong that I am now planning a pavlova for the weekend?!
Lynnae- I hope you and your family have a lovely Easter weekend. My family never really had any special Easter traditions just the usual chocolate eggs and dyed and painted boiled eggs for breakfast. And my granny’s hot cross buns on Good Friday.

Meringues :) This is pretty cool, I’ve never heard of it before. Since I don’t know the Bible as well as you, are the excerpts to come after or before the explanations (if that makes sense)?
