This is my free coloring pages blog.
Today, being Sunday, I drew a religious-themed coloring page.
This is Esther, the Queen.
Esther the Courageous Queen of Persia
Esther was a Jewish orphan who was raised by her Uncle Mordicai. She was considered a \Jew, yet she was from the Tribe of Benjamin. She was chosen to be the new Queen of Persia after the king got into a tiff with his then-wife. An evil noble named Haman had a plot to kill off the Jews. He hated Mordecai especially. Mordecai persuaded his niece to do something to save the Jewish people.
Although it was punishable by death to go to the king without being summoned... Esther fasted and had the Jewish people fast for 3 days. Then she bravely went before King Ahaseurus. The king was charmed by her and did not have her executed. She wisely and craftily tricked Haman so that his plot was revealed. Before Haman's plot was revealed, the king learned that Mordecai had stopped a plot to kill the king. Then the king made Haman honor Mordecai.
In the end, King Ahaseurus had Haman hanged on the gallows he built to hang Mordecai. Queen Esther had been successful in saving her uncle and her people. I also want to note that she was chosen to be queen because she was so very beautiful. But her faith and soul were beautiful, too. Your heart and soul have a lot to do with true beauty.
