About this Bible story

The Easter Vigil is a time when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection. Kids learn about how Jesus died and rose again. Romans 6:4 reminds us, 'We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death.' It's a great way to share the story of hope and new life.

β€œWe were therefore buried with him through baptism into death.”

β€” Romans 6:4 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While the kids color, ask them what the Easter Vigil means to them. Highlight the moment when the angel tells the women that Jesus has risen, connecting it to Romans 6:4. Use crayons or colored pencils for easier handling, and consider following up with a group discussion on what they learned.
