There is a critical moment in this story when Rebekah sees Isaac, and she responds by covering herself with a veil. Why she does this is debated. Some say it’s because she wants to soften or hide her face from her betrothed because it is his place to unveil it. Others claim it was a sign of a free woman, no slave could do such a thing, nor one already taken in marriage. Veiling the bride, however, is something that’s familiar with even modern-day wedding customs. This simple colouring page craft allows the child to attach the veil. Here I’ve used baking parchment, but you could use fine tissue paper or even lace if it’s av alible.
To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, scissors, and some paper glue.
The colour version of this craft has the background filled in, so you only colour Rebekah.
Add colour to your image, then cut off the instructions part at the top of the page.
Using the template in the instructions section, trace the veil shape onto your veil material.
Glue the veil in place
