Mary, Mother of Jesus Coloring Page

In the Gospels, Mary was a young woman from Nazareth who was told by an angel that she would have a son named Jesus. She and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. A donkey carrying Mary to Bethlehem is a favourite part of the story in pictures, though the Gospels don’t actually mention one.

Artists often show Mary with a white lily, a flower that stands for purity. She is honoured in many Christian traditions, and Muslims honour her too. She is the only woman named in the Quran, which has a chapter called Maryam.
