  • Your download will include the digital files and printing instructions.

There are a few different purchasing options:

  • B&W Digital Files: These files can be printed out as large coloring posters.
  • Color Digital Files: These full-color illustrations can be printed out and used to create a worship installation. If you purchase the Color Digital Files, you will not receive the B&W coloring poster version.

Your purchase includes both Adobe Illustrator (AI files) and Adobe Acrobat (PDF files) versions of the posters. After your purchase, you will immediately receive a download link to get your zip file. Detailed instructions will come with the download as to how we suggest getting the posters printed. If you have the files printed somewhere like Staples, we recommend having them printed as engineering prints (and specifically asking for "engineering prints" and not "posters"), as that is the most inexpensive option available. You can learn more about engineering prints here.

Ideas for Using Our Coloring Posters

If you're wondering how to use these coloring posters, you can get some great ideas from these blog posts.

Scriptural Stations of the Cross

Given that the Illustrated Ministry community comes from over 75 different denominations, some of whom may not be familiar with the Stations of the Cross, we decided to go with the scriptural form of the Stations of the Cross, which Pope John Paul II introduced on Good Friday 1991.

The stations are listed below, along with their accompanying scriptural reference. You'll notice that we are also including a 15th Station, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus.

  • Station 1: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-41)
  • Station 2: Jesus, Betrayed by Judas, is Arrested (Mark 14:43-46)
  • Station 3: Jesus is Condemned by the Sanhedrin (Luke 22:66-71)
  • Station 4: Jesus is Denied by Peter (Matthew 26:69-75)
  • Station 5: Jesus is Judged by Pilate (Mark 15:1-5, 15)
  • Station 6: Jesus is Scourged and Crowned with Thorns (John 19:1-3)
  • Station 7: Jesus Bears the Cross (John 19:6, 15-17)
  • Station 8: Jesus is Helped by Simon the Cyrenian to Carry the Cross (Mark 15:21)
  • Station 9: Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem (Luke 23:27-31)
  • Station 10: Jesus is Crucified (Luke 23:33-34)
  • Station 11: Jesus Promises His Kingdom to the Good Thief (Luke 23:39-43)
  • Station 12: Jesus Speaks to His Mother and the Disciples (John 19:25-27)
  • Station 13: Jesus Dies on the Cross (Luke 23:44-46)
  • Station 14: Jesus is Placed in the Tomb (Matthew 27:57-60)
  • Station 15: The Resurrection of Jesus (Mark 16:1-6)

If you do a google search for "Stations of the Cross Coloring Pages" - we think you'll see why we felt there was a need for a re-envisioning of the stations in a way that could be accessible to children (and "children at heart"). Each poster takes an aspect from the accompanying scripture and focuses on that specific piece of the narrative. So whether it's a tear from Jesus' eye (Station 1), a close-up of Judas giving Jesus a kiss (Station 2) or Peter's arms crossed as he denies knowing Jesus (Station 4), the illustrations will draw you into the story in a way that some of the kitschy cartoons of the past aren't able to.

Beautifully illustrated but not accurate Stations of the Cross
I thought the art work was beautiful and a neat resource to use throughout Lent. I had different Ministries throughout Lent work on/color particular stations. The illustrations came out beautifully. On Good Friday, I placed out all of the illustrations throughout our campus in preparation for our Stations of the Cross. I am at an Episcopal Church and I had assumed that the artwork went along with the Way of the Cross that is used at our Stations of the Cross service in the Episcopal and Catholic traditions.

Much to my dismay, there were 6 illustrations that did not belong to a particular station and the rest of the stations were out of order or not correct according to the Way of the Cross.

I notice now that there was a devotional that went along with the illustrations which I did not purchase since I was following the "Way of the Cross". I feel that it was falsely advertised as Stations of the Cross when it truly wasn't. I should have been more thorough when examining but I wasn't. I just assumed.

Although the stations didn't match up to our Stations of the Cross service, the participants of that service still got a lot out of walking the stations together and the ministries enjoyed coloring their station throughout Lent.

Suzy, so glad that people enjoyed the posters. Sorry that there was some confusion about which stations would be included. There are a few different variations of the Stations of the Cross, and as described in the product description for this product, we shared that we were using the Scriptural Form of the Stations of the Cross. If you look in the product description, we wrote: 'Given that the Illustrated Children’s Ministry community comes from over 25 different denominations, some of whom may not be familiar with the Stations of the Cross, we decided to go with the scriptural form of the Stations of the Cross, which Pope John Paul II introduced on Good Friday 1991.' And then we listed out each of the stations and the scripture that went with it.

As always, we hope to find better ways to communicate with everyone about our products and make sure people know what they are receiving, so we will consider your concerns and see how we might be able to be more clear in the future. -Adam
