More about these coloring pages
When my 9-year-old colored the Good Friday Cross last week, she asked questions about why Jesus had to die. It's such a great way to start conversations about faith. The coloring page includes six images that depict different aspects of the Good Friday story, making it visually engaging. One of the images shows Jesus on the cross, reminding us of Romans 5:8, where it says, 'Christ died for us.' We used crayons and markers, and it was a joy to see her express her understanding through art. I printed the pages as a free PDF download, which made it easy for us to use in our homeschool lessons. These pages are simple enough for kids to color while discussing the significance of Good Friday.
