More about these coloring pages
When my kids started working on the Holy Saturday coloring page, I could hear their crayons scratching against the paper. This page is filled with beautiful images, including a tomb and the stone rolled in front of it. 'The next day, the one after Preparation Day' (Matthew 27:62) reminds us of the stillness before the resurrection. My 9-year-old asked about what the disciples might have felt waiting for Jesus to rise. These moments are great for sparking conversations about faith. Each of the six images can help kids visualize this important day in the Easter story. Last week, we spent a rainy afternoon coloring together, and it turned into a wonderful time of sharing our thoughts about Jesus' sacrifice and what it means to us as Christians. I love how a simple coloring page can open up rich discussions.
