Easter Sunday
Trace the words The tomb is empty!
Draw the
disciples finding
the empty tomb.

John 20:1 “Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been
removed from the entrance.” The tomb was empty. Jesus had risen from the dead.
On Easter we celebrate that Jesus rose from the dead!
