The three-panel design supports moments of engagement, from famine and grief symbolism in Chapter 1 to gleaning in Chapters 2–3 and renewed harvest themes in Chapter 4. Notes highlight recurring symbols such as hesed, Bethlehem imagery, and protective wings, connecting scripture references with what readers discover while coloring.","Triptychs (or three-paneled) artwork allows for movement within a story. Many religious triptychs are displayed as a three-panel painting with hinges that allow it to be displayed or closed over or behind an altar.  \nThis coloring triptych is filled with hidden and not-so-hidden details, themes from the story of Ruth that invite us to engage the story more deeply. It’s designed for all ages and is bound to introduce you to something you might have missed if you were only reading or hearing the story.  \nMay this resource enhance your personal prayer and reflection, or offer a way into conversation with others of all ages. Take your time with these pages and see what the story of Ruth still has to show us today.  \nThe triptych is an original design by Rev. Emmy Kegler (she/they), who self-describes as, writer. author. podcaster. doodler. queer Christian wife & mom. seeker of lost coins. Learn more about Emmy’[s ministry at www.Emmy Kegler.com](s ministry at www.Emmy Kegler.com).  \nEmmy hints at what you might notice in these doodles, so if you want help seeing the story in these images, read on. If you’d rather explore for yourself, come back later after you’ve connected with and colored the story.
