Last Friday, my 7-year-old colored a St Juan Diego page and asked about the Virgin Mary's message. The six images include Juan's encounter with Mary and the roses that bloomed in winter. These coloring pages are perfect for a Sunday school lesson.

More about these coloring pages

As my kids colored these pages, they were fascinated by St Juan Diego's story and how he listened to the Virgin Mary. They loved the image of Juan holding the roses, remembering how he said, 'Cast off all fear' (St Juan Diego). It sparked a lively discussion about bravery in faith. With six different images, including the moment he met Mary and the beautiful roses, these pages are a wonderful addition to any homeschool lesson. Coloring them together last Thursday afternoon, my kids asked how Juan Diego felt when he saw Mary. I love how this activity connects them to the saint's legacy. It's a great way to encourage conversations about faith and courage.
