Saint Peter (01)

This coloring page depicts Saint Peter, the first pope and leader of the Apostles, holding the keys to the kingdom of heaven. He is shown with a halo, symbolizing his sanctity, and a book, representing his preaching of the Gospel. The keys in his hand recall Matthew 16:19, where Jesus entrusts Peter with authority: ‘I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.’ This page is ideal for catechesis lessons on papal authority, the foundation of the Church, and the mission of Peter as shepherd of Christ’s flock. Teachers, parents, and catechists can use it to engage children when celebrating the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul (June 29) and the Chair of St. Peter (February 22).
