The center aisle leads straight to the altar on this Catholic church coloring page, with six rows of wooden pews on each side. Pointed arches and columns rise over the altar, a large cross hangs above it, and a tall arched window stands on each side wall. The altar has a cloth with a scalloped edge, a small domed tabernacle with a cross on top and two candles. The long straight lines and the many pews take steady work, so this page is more challenging and suits ages 8 and up.

How this coloring page was created

For this page, we typed this idea into Colorin AI: "the inside of a Catholic church seen from the center aisle, with rows of wooden pews on both sides leading to an altar with a cross, tall arched windows on the walls and a high arched ceiling, drawn with clean outlines, with the whole drawing kept above an empty white margin at the bottom of the page".

How to use it

A catechist can use the page to teach the parts of a church. The catechist names the altar, the cross, the pews and the aisle, and the children color every part as they hear its name. A Catholic school can also hand out the sheet before a class visit to the church. To show your own church, create a page of your parish church.
