More about these coloring pages

As my kids colored the St Columba pages, they were fascinated by his journey and the miracles he performed.

The page includes a lovely illustration of Columba, along with a quote from Isaiah 52:7: 'How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.' Each of the 6 images highlights different moments from his life, making it a great tool for teaching. I printed these pages for our Sunday school class, and the kids loved them!
