More about these coloring pages
When teaching about Candlemas, I find that the visuals really help to bring the story alive. Each image captures a part of the moment when Simeon sees baby Jesus and proclaims Him 'A light for revelation to the Gentiles' (Luke 2:32). My class especially enjoys coloring the candles and Simeon holding Jesus. Just last week, I had my third graders color these while I shared the story, and their excitement was palpable. We talked about how Jesus was a gift not just to the Jews but to everyone. Having these six images as a coloring resource makes it easy to engage with the lesson. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for every class. It's a simple yet powerful way to reinforce the message of Candlemas.
