About this Bible story
On Holy Saturday, the disciples waited in sorrow as Jesus lay in the tomb. Matthew 27:62 tells us, 'The next day, the one after Preparation Day.' This coloring page helps kids remember the significance of this quiet day.
“The next day, the one after Preparation Day.”

More about these coloring pages
The Holy Saturday coloring page Sunday school offers a gentle reminder of the stillness before Easter Sunday. One image shows the tomb with a stone rolled in front, while another depicts the guards keeping watch. My students, ages 8 to 10, enjoy using bright colors to bring these images to life. We discussed how 'the next day, the one after Preparation Day' (Matthew 27:62) was a time of waiting and reflection. As they colored, I encouraged them to think about what it means to wait on God. This coloring activity not only engages them but also solidifies the lesson about Jesus’ resurrection. I often keep a few copies in my Sunday school binder for those moments when we have extra time.
