Stained-glass cross over sunrise hills with lilies and radiating glass panels

Stained-Glass Cross at Sunrise with Lilies

A faceted cross rises above rolling stained-glass hills, with tall lilies framing the sunrise like a bright Easter window.

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Bible collection, made for ages 5–7 and drawn in a Stained Glass style. A good pick for Easter.

🎨 How to color it

Color the cross golden yellow, the sunrise panels peach and sky blue, the rolling hills soft green, and the lilies white with pink centers. Use chunky crayons or markers to fill each stained-glass shape one section at a time, staying inside the bold black lines when you can. Try making the rays behind the cross alternate warm and cool colors so the middle looks extra bright.

In the hill chapel, Junia rolled a lump of white clay between her palms. Squish, pat, poke—she made one tiny button with four wobbly holes. It was not for a coat. It was for the Easter sill, where everyone brought something made by hand. The room smelled like dust, lilies, and warm wax.

Junia set her button by the tall window and whispered, “Stay fancy.” A sunbeam slipped through the colored glass, landed on the button, and made four dots of light on a lily petal. The dots looked like a silly face. Then every lily seemed to grin.

When the bells began, Junia giggled so hard her ribbon bounced. Her plain little button had not just sat there; it had helped the flowers play a joke. Next time you see the lilies by the cross, can you spot where Junia’s four wobbly holes made the morning grin?
