Each Easter for the last few years, we have made some special Easter cookies. You make then the night before Easter and leave then in the oven overnight. In the morning the are ready and hollow inside.
The making of the cookies is very symbolic (vinegar- offered to Christ on the cross, salt- his salty tears shed for us, sugar- the sweet part of the story is Christ did this all because he loved us, eggs -new life, broken pecans- the beating Christ suffered before the cross.)
so, this morning as we "unsealed" the oven tomb, we asked Audrey what the women found when they went to the tomb on the 3rd day after Christ's death. She said "just Jesus's clothes." we opened the oven and pulled out the cookies. We broke one open to show it was hollow. Audrey was amazed. As we sat eating cookies, Audrey yells out, "Ahhhhhh!!!! We are eating his clothes!!!"
