Poster Details & Ordering Information

You have a few options when ordering your coloring posters:

• Physical Posters: These posters are printed on thick, 32-pound paper that works beautifully with many different mediums – from crayons to colored pencils to markers. Each of the eight posters is 36" x 24". Physical poster sets ship to the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
• Digital Files: We have both B&W and color digital files available for purchase. Upon completion of your purchase, you will receive a link to download the illustrations in a zip file. International paper sizes can differ, but you can easily resize the files as needed. Detailed instructions for getting the posters printed are included with the download. Many print and copy centers can print "engineering" prints, or blueprints - this is the least expensive option generally available.

The Scriptural Form of the Stations of the Cross

Given that the Illustrated Ministry community comes from over 60 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.
