Creating memories happens better when you engage in one or all five of our senses.

Each week I brought different foods for the teens to taste. From my research on the types of foods that Jesus may have eaten, I brought in hummus with Mediterranean flat bread, pistachio nuts, and fresh dates. We also explored the taste of baklava, which contains foods that He would have eaten: honey, walnuts and cinnamon. Cinnamon is mentioned in the Bible in the following verses: Exodus 30:23, Proverbs 7:17 and Song of Solomon 4:14. Other foods that Jesus might have eaten include yogurt, lentils, dried figs, grapes, olives, olive oil and cucumbers. In Genesis 43:11 honey, pistachio nuts and almonds are included in a description by Joseph's father as being of the best products of the land!
