More about these coloring pages
During our lesson on the Easter Empty Cross, my seven-year-old students were filled with excitement as they colored. They loved the imagery of the empty cross and what it represents. They often say, 'He is not here; He has risen!' (Luke 24:6). Each of the 6 images in this free printable brings a different aspect of the Easter story to life. One child even asked how the cross relates to Jesus' love for us. It's a great opportunity to discuss how His sacrifice leads to our salvation. As they color, I encourage them to think about what the empty cross means in their own lives, allowing for deep conversation and reflection.
