We have designed this Lenten Coloring Calendar and Companion Devotional Guide to help you build a daily rhythm of reading, reflecting, and coloring throughout the season of Lent. Using the Companion Devotional Guide, you are invited to read the daily scripture text (from the Revised Common Lectionary Year A) in your preferred translation, and identify and color in the coordinating shape on the Coloring Calendar.
As artists, we have written reflections on the daily scriptures and how the imagery inside the shapes are inspired by them. On Sundays (traditionally considered "Fast days" in Lent), we have included poem prayers by Sarah Are and prompts for Sabbath & weekly reflection. By Easter morning, you will have a fully-colored-in work of art documenting your journey through Lent. The completed, overall poster forms a resurrection image of the empty tomb from the smaller Lenten shapes and images.
NEW REVISED VERSION: This file has been revised so that it no longer includes dates from 2017. All dates have been removed so that you can use this devo for any season. We encourage you to start it on Ash Wednesday and continue daily through Easter!

PRINTING INFO:
While we include 8.5x11 and 11x17 sizes of the Coloring Calendar, we highly recommend printing the calendar at 18x24 or larger. The shapes are small to be manageable for daily coloring and the calendar is designed to be printed quite large. You can print black and white engineering prints at Staples for the following rates:
18"x24" for $1.79/each
24"x36" for $3.59/each
36"x48" for $7.29/each

Print the Devotional Guide on 8.5x11 sheets to fold into an 8.5 x 5.5 booklet. Print the PDF under landscape orientation, double-sided, and choose "short edge to short edge," "flip to short edge," or "head to head" for the correct layout. The PDF is arranged so that you can easily fold the pages in half, staple or bind them down the middle, and voila! You have a beautiful devotional to guide you through Lent.
