Bearded Man Bent Under a Cross Climbing Uphill

A bearded man in a long robe with a belt at the waist bends forward as he carries a large wooden cross across his shoulder. He wears a band of thorns around his head, and one hand grips the lower end of the beam while the other arm stretches out along it. Behind him, two more crosses stand against a plain sky with a small cloud at the top, and jagged grass and rocky ground fill the lower left. The whole scene sits inside a slightly curved frame. This printable page works well for a Good Friday lesson at home or in class. Try coloring the robe in soft earth tones and the wood in several shades of brown, then talk about the story of Good Friday while the crayons move. The thick outlines are easy for younger children to stay inside.
