Mary Showed Her Love for Jesus Bible Craft

Mary Showed Her Love for Jesus Bible Craft

There are many ways to show our love for Jesus. Mary of Bethany (sister to Lazarus and Martha) once anointed Jesus’ feet with expensive perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. This was an expression of great devotion. This Mary Showed Her Love for Jesus Bible Craft will help remind children that prayer is one way we show our love for Jesus, just like Mary showed her love for Jesus.

Note: This free craft is also available as a downloadable PDF.
