Saturday – when Jesus body lay in the tomb
Activity: wrap someone in toilet paper, but be sure to save it for use later! Think how Jesus’ body and cloth was anointed in a lot of oils and spices and how the women at the tomb, discovered the grave clothes left behind, with the head cloth folded up neatly. For older children – tell them about the shroud of Turin that some people believe is the actual cloth that wrapped Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt_92yHPSug
Activity: Resurrection Roll – anoint a marshmallow in spices, wrap it in puff pastry burial clothes, then put it in the tomb (oven). When you take it out, Jesus’ body will have disappeared!
Discuss: What do you think Jesus was doing on the Saturday? Lying dead in the tomb? Already resurrected and getting healed by angels? Getting a big hug from his father?
