10 Free Religious Coloring Pages for Easter Holy Week

Sunday school teachers and parents alike are invited to instantly download and print my free religious coloring pages for Easter. These great Easter coloring pages are a helpful tool for guiding conversations about Jesus among kids of all ages and show that Easter is not just about bunnies, eggs, and chocolates.

I hope your kids can enjoy these pages whether they are at home or in children’s church. After all, conversations about the Bible should be happening more often at home than at Sunday School.

Some of the designs are simpler and give younger kids a chance to practice their eye-to-hand coordination. But a few are a bit more complex, great for exercising older kid’s fine motor skills while enjoying some fun activities on Easter.

I’m especially excited to offer these free printable Easter coloring pages for small churches that may not have the budget for bigger Easter crafts.

I’ve done a lot of coloring sheets with my girls through the years because I love adding a special activity to each holiday. It is always fun spending quality time with them and creating new family memories.

Easter Bible coloring sheets can be especially helpful for spurring biblical education and Bible focused conversations.


What is the Holy Week / Passion Week?

Holy Week, also known as Passion Week, is the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. During that time, Christians consider the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ with extra intention. This often includes church services on Good Friday, which marks the day Jesus was put to death.

The actual Easter holiday is when people celebrate the fact that on the third day, the tomb was to be empty.

The shortened version of the story of Easter is that Jesus Christ died for the sins of mankind and rose from the dead.

Through the years, traditions like Easter egg hunts and the Easter bunny have been added to the celebrations to loop in symbols of new life and springtime.

I wanted to keep these coloring sheets focused on Jesus’ resurrection and the true meaning of the Easter season so I didn’t add bunnies or Easter eggs. But you can find Easter eggs on my free Easter Egg coloring pages.
