About this coloring page
Mary and Joseph kneel beside baby Jesus while a shepherd holds a lamb close to the manger. An angel opens both wings above the stable, and the Bethlehem star shines at the highest point of the scene. This addition to our Christian coloring pages for Christmas keeps the Nativity clear, warm, and easy for children to recognize.
Begin with the people and save the night sky for last. Deep blue around the white star gives it a bright glow, while warm browns suit the stable wood, straw, and shepherd's staff. Crayons cover the broad robes quickly, and a colored pencil can handle the lamb's wool and manger details.
Print the PDF for Advent, Christmas Sunday school, a parish activity table, or a homeschool reading of Luke 2. Ask children to find each person who came to welcome Jesus. A short Christmas prayer, the Bible reference, or another small star can be added on the back after the coloring is finished.
