Saint Peter (16)

This coloring page offers a traditional depiction of Saint Peter, holding both the keys of heaven and the Holy Scriptures. His serious expression recalls his leadership and courage as the first pope, who bore responsibility for guiding the Church after Christ’s ascension. The halo above his head testifies to his sanctity, while the keys recall the authority given him by Christ in Matthew 16:19. The book with a cross emphasizes his apostolic teaching and letters in the New Testament. This page is an excellent catechetical resource for teaching students about Peter’s authority, his writings, and his martyrdom in Rome.
