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.
