About this Bible story

After Jesus was buried, early on Sunday, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to visit the tomb. They were shocked to find it empty! An angel told them, 'He is not here; He has risen!' (Matthew 28:1).

β€œAt dawn on the first day of the week.”

β€” Matthew 28:1 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While kids color, ask them, 'What do you think it felt like to see the empty tomb?' Highlight the moment when the angel announces Jesus' resurrection. Have crayons and colored pencils ready, and consider using this as a lead-in to an Easter craft activity afterward.

More about these coloring pages

Last Sunday, my 10-year-old and 7-year-old colored scenes from the Easter morning story while I read the Bible. They were so excited to color the angel, the empty tomb, and Mary Magdalene. As they colored, I reminded them that 'At dawn on the first day of the week' (Matthew 28:1), the miracle of Jesus' resurrection happened. We talked about how amazing it was that Jesus conquered death. Each of the six coloring images is simple yet meaningful, making it easy for kids to connect with the story. It’s a wonderful way to keep the focus on the true meaning of Easter. Coloring together turned out to be a beautiful bonding moment for us.
