Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene stood near the tomb after finding it empty. At first she did not recognize Jesus, but she recognized him when he called her by name. She later told the disciples that she had seen the Lord. This printable focuses on John 20:14–18. Read the surrounding passage with children to place the scene in the wider account.
