  • Fig Newtons to remind us of the story of the fig tree in the Garden of Gethsemane
  • Flatbread for the unleavened bread that Jesus broke and shared. Pita bread would be great here too. 
  • Tic Tacs to symbolize the bitter tears that Peter wept realizing that he denied the Lord, as Jesus had foretold
  • Cool Whip to remind us of the “clouds of heaven” that Jesus told Caiaphas that he would be returning on.
  • Celestial Seasoning Sleepytime Tea to remind us of how the apostles fell asleep while Jesus was praying in the garden.
