Angels in Bible stories
An angel holds out bread and a jar of water to Elijah resting against a desert tree, and an angel with a raised sword stands in the path as Balaam rides his donkey between vineyard walls.
Angels appear all through the Bible as messengers and helpers. These pages show several of those stories: an angel bringing bread and water to Elijah under a desert broom tree, Balaam on his donkey facing an angel on a narrow vineyard road, an angel leading Peter out of prison past sleeping guards, Hagar at a desert well and Zechariah at the incense altar in the temple.
Alongside the stories are guardian angels watching over children on a forest bridge and over a sleeping baby, cherubs making music on clouds, an angel ornament for Christmas, and detailed designs such as angel wings around a mandala halo, a stained glass window and a zentangle angel.

Before coloring a Bible story page, read the passage together: 1 Kings 19 for Elijah, Numbers 22 for Balaam, Acts 12 for Peter, Genesis 21 for Hagar and Luke 1 for Zechariah. Then talk about what the angel says or does.
Angels are often painted as if they glow. Leave a thin white edge around the wings and halo, then color outward with soft yellow and gold so the figure looks lit from within.
Color the angel wings and halo frame, then write a name, a short prayer or a favorite verse inside the empty oval and hang it by a bed or give it as a card.
