Why color cupid pictures?
The name Cupid comes from Latin and means “love.” He is known as the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. He has the figure of a child, something that led Aphrodite to raise her concern with the Oracle, to which it replied “Love cannot grow without desire.”
Aphrodite did not understand it until after having her second son, the god of desire. When cupid was beside his brother he grew until he became a handsome young man, but after he was separated from his brother he became a child again.
Cupid took a while until he finally fell in love with a mortal and had his love story, and since at Coloring Together we want you to be able to live your own romance, we have brought you the cupid images to color that will help you win over that special person you have in mind.
In addition to that, above each of the Cupid coloring pages you will find a little more information about this god who has the power to bind or break apart those in love. Don't let this opportunity pass! It is time to bring your own Cupid to life.
