The ornate cross reminds us of Jesus' sacrifice. In Galatians 6:14, Paul says, 'May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord.' This lesson helps kids understand the importance of the cross in our faith.

How to Use These Coloring Pages
While the kids color, ask them, 'What does the cross mean to you?' Highlight the moment when Paul writes about boasting in the cross (Galatians 6:14). This can lead to a meaningful discussion. Plan to use colored pencils for finer details, and consider a follow-up activity where kids share their reflections.

More about these coloring pages
When I pulled out the ornate cross coloring pages last week, my students were eager to start. Each of the six images features intricate designs that invite creativity. As they colored, I reminded them of the words from Galatians 6:14: 'May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord.' This connection makes the lesson resonate deeply. I usually encourage my third graders to think about how the cross represents love and sacrifice. We also discussed why it's central to our faith.
