Pretzel Crosses

Group produces the Vacation Bible School curriculum we use, and on Thursday of VBS week they usually plan for us to talk about the cross. “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” (1 Cor. 15.3)  Since the snacks typically match the day’s theme, the children will eat these pretzel crosses today — here being made on Wednesday.  I wonder if the white glazing on the cross is symbolic: “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” (Is 1.18)  There is something similar to holy communion in eating food that connects you to the dying of Jesus.
