Good Friday, celebrated on the Friday before Easter, is the day when Jesus Christ died for our sins. It’s the day Jesus Christ was betrayed by his friends, and condemned to death the worst way possible. He was forced to carry a huge cross up to Calvary hill. Every year, on Good Friday, the Catholic Churches put up these things in a display so that we can see the torture Jesus Christ, the son of God, endured, just for us, human beings. Furthermore, people even abstain from eating meat, as it’s considered a mortal sin to feast on meat these days. To commemorate this holiday, we’ve got our readers a collection of free printable Good Friday coloring sheets. You can check out all these Good Friday coloring sheets below.
