Three Followers Watch Jesus on the Cross, Good Friday

A large wooden cross fills the page, with Jesus hanging from it, arms stretched wide along the horizontal beam. His head is bowed with eyes closed, and he has shoulder-length hair and a beard. He wears a simple cloth wrapped around his waist, and his ribs show on his bare chest. Behind the cross, three robed figures stand together with their backs to us, and two of them hold tall staffs with pointed tips. The ground is drawn as uneven patches with wavy edges. The shapes are big and the lines are bold, so this printable works well for older kids and for group lessons. One idea is to color the wood in browns and the robes in soft, quiet shades, then talk about what Good Friday means while everyone works. The patches of ground are good spots for practicing shading with crayons or colored pencils.
