More about these coloring pages

While my 10-year-old colored this page, he asked questions about the resurrection. It’s amazing to see their excitement when they get to learn about Jesus' victory over death. The images include the angel rolling back the stone and the empty tomb, which brings the story to life. As we colored, I reminded them of the moment when 'an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone' (Matthew 28:2). This simple coloring page is perfect for kids to grasp the joy of Easter. We displayed their artwork on the fridge to remind us of this important event throughout the season.
