Snack Ideas for Holy Week

I signed up for snacks during Holy Week for my son's kindergarten class. I am looking for lenten snack ideas for that week. I've come up with crown of thorn cookies (sugar cookie rolled into a circle with little chinese noodles sticking out) and purple grapes on toothpicks to make a cross shape. Any other ideas?

Comment by angie wolfe on March 19, 2011 at 6:11pm: I found these ideas online last year. For Holy Thursday, tortilla shells-represent unleavened bread, cut round pieces of ham and cheese--represent 30 pcs of silver, olives--Mount of Olives, fig newtons--Gethsemane Figs and Hershey Kisses--represent Judas' kiss. For Good Friday, tortilla shells--represent Christs' seamless garment, diced cheese--represent the dice the soldiers gambled with, muffins with strawberry hidden in the middle--represents Christ laid in the tomb, honey peanut butter balls with pretzels sticking out-crown of thorns.

Hope you find something fun to use!!
