Easter is a time of joy, renewal, and celebration, filled with colorful eggs, playful bunnies, and fun family traditions. While decorating Easter eggs and enjoying festive crafts like our Easter Egg Coloring Pages, Easter Bunny Agamograph, and Paper Bunny Mask, it’s also important to reflect on the true meaning of Easter—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Teaching children about Christ’s sacrifice and triumph over death can be a beautiful and meaningful part of your Easter traditions, and what better way to do that than through coloring?
To help bring Christ’s story to life, we’ve created a collection of Religious Easter Coloring Pages featuring five powerful scenes from Jesus’ last week on Earth. These pages allow kids to engage with the story of Easter while enjoying a calming and creative activity. Whether you use these coloring pages for Sunday school, homeschool lessons, or family scripture study, they offer a hands-on way to help children understand and appreciate the Easter story.
This collection includes:
Christ’s Triumphant Entry – Celebrate Palm Sunday as Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey while people wave palm leaves in praise.
Jesus Praying in Gethsemane – A peaceful yet emotional scene depicting Jesus praying in the garden, preparing for what is to come.
Jesus Carrying His Cross – A powerful image showing Christ’s journey to Calvary, carrying the cross for our sins.
Christ Resurrected in Front of the Empty Tomb – The joy of Easter morning! This page captures Jesus standing before His empty tomb, victorious over death.
The Empty Cross with Flowers and "He is Risen!" – A cross with flowers and the words "He is Risen!", symbolizing the hope and joy of Christ’s resurrection.
These coloring pages not only encourage creativity and relaxation, but they also open the door for meaningful conversations about faith, sacrifice, and salvation. As children color, you can talk about each scene and help them connect Easter’s spiritual significance to their own lives.
Of course, Easter is also a time for fun and excitement, and we’ve got plenty of playful crafts to add to your holiday celebrations! If your kids love eggs and surprises, check out our Dragon Hatching Eggs Craft, which adds a magical twist to traditional Easter egg activities. Looking for more faith-based projects? Pair these Religious Easter Coloring Pages with our Easter Agamograph, which creates a moving image when folded!
No matter how you celebrate, Easter is a time of love, hope, and renewal. These coloring pages will help children learn, reflect, and express their creativity while keeping Christ at the center of your holiday. Print your pages today and enjoy a meaningful Easter celebration!
STEP 1: Print
Start by printing out the free Religious Easter Coloring Pages on 8.5x11 white paper. Templates are FREE to download and can be found towards the bottom of the post.
Step 2: Color with Meaning and Creativity
Encourage your child to choose their own colors as they bring these Religious Easter Coloring Pages to life. Let them explore their creativity—even if that means a brightly colored robe for Jesus or a multi-colored cross. Allowing children to express themselves builds confidence in their artistic choices and helps them connect personally with the Easter story. Instead of correcting their choices, celebrate their imagination by asking, “What made you choose that color?” to show genuine interest in their creative process.
Praise the Process, Not Just the Outcome
Instead of focusing on making the coloring pages look "perfect," encourage effort and attention to detail. Try phrases like, “I love how carefully you colored Jesus’ robe” or “You did an amazing job shading in the sunrise behind the empty tomb” to help them feel proud of their work. This reinforces persistence and the idea that art is about expression, not just results.
Encourage Experimentation with Meaningful Symbolism
Show them how to mix colors, create patterns, or add shading to make their Easter scene even more special. Encourage them to think about the meaning behind their color choices—gold for light and hope, green for new life, red for sacrifice, and white for purity. Experimenting with different techniques builds confidence in their artistic skills while deepening their understanding of the Easter story.
Make It a Joyful and Reflective Experience
Coloring these faith-based pages can be a beautiful way to reflect on the meaning of Easter. Play soft worship music, read related Bible verses about Jesus’ last week, or discuss each scene as they color. Turning this into a family moment makes the experience more meaningful and memorable.
Showcase Their Work with Pride
Let your child know their artwork is valued by displaying it at home—on the fridge, framed in their room, or even as part of an “Easter Art Gallery” in your home or church. You could also encourage them to give their artwork as a gift to a grandparent, teacher, or Sunday school class. Seeing their work celebrated reinforces their confidence and encourages them to continue expressing their faith through art.
By making coloring a positive and creative experience, you’re helping your child build self-assurance, fine motor skills, and a deeper connection to the true meaning of Easter. So grab those crayons, colored pencils, or markers and let this special faith-filled coloring journey begin!
