#Hallelujah Day 7 Easter Advent Kit for Holy Week

Day 7 Stand All Amazed-01

All photos by Amy Little

Today’s mini devotional is about Jesus standing trial before Caiaphas & Pilate.  There are scriptures, videos and the discussion as the entire week follows this structure.  The family activity if you choose to do it is a clay salt dough tomb with instructions listed below.  In the kit notes it refers to a recipe card, which isn’t included.  Sorry this was a typo.  But below lists the recipe I used with a few pictures to illustrate the steps.

Salt Dough Recipe:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
3/4 cup warm water
a few drops of black food coloring (gives stone color)

Mix all ingredients until smooth.

Instructions:

  1. Place a glass oven-proof bowl (Pyrex) upside down on a cookie sheet.
  2. Spray it with non-stick spray.
  3. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
  4. Carefully place the rolled dough over the bowl to make a tomb.
  5. Cut away a door.
  6. Reshape the door as more of a rounded rock.
  7. Lay the rock door on the pan like a cookie.
  8. Bake in a warm oven at lowest setting. I did 100 degrees and baked it for 5-7 hours. Be sure to watch it, every oven is different.
  9. When it’s dry and cool, remove the tomb from the bowl.

You could also consider creating a mini empty tomb garden in a small pot or vessel using small plants, a bonsai tree, small rocks, tiny flowers, moss, grass, soil and a small piece of natural gauze inside the tomb to represent the cloth they wrapped the Savior’s body left in the tomb.  To create the open tomb part, I used a small plastic pot from the nursery and laid it on it’s side, then added the moss over it to create the hill of the tomb.   Day 7 Empty tomb garden-01 Day 7 Empty Tomb Garden square-01 Day 7 Empty Tomb Garden palm-01
