The heart of the Christian faith, in one grid
Christianity is the world's largest religion, and this word search gathers its key words. You'll be finding the central figure — JESUS CHRIST — the symbols and texts like the CROSS, BIBLE and GOSPEL, and the practices of the faith, from BAPTISM and PRAYER to COMMUNION.
Each puzzle pulls a fresh selection from the list, so the words change every time you play — gentle on Easy, and a longer-word challenge once the diagonals and backwards words appear on Hard.
Beliefs, symbols and practices
The grid covers the key vocabulary of the faith. At its centre is JESUS CHRIST, the SAVIOUR, and the GOSPEL accounts of his life, full of his PARABLE stories. There are the symbols — the CROSS and CRUCIFIX — the texts and prayers, the BIBLE and PSALM, and the people who followed Jesus, his DISCIPLES and APOSTLES. There are the practices Christians share — BAPTISM, PRAYER, COMMUNION, a SERMON and WORSHIP at a CHURCH or CHAPEL — and the beliefs at its heart, the TRINITY, GRACE, FAITH, HEAVEN and SALVATION.
The faith with the most followers
With around two billion followers, Christianity is the world's largest religion, found in nearly every country. Christians follow the teachings of JESUS, whom they believe to be the son of God, and the BIBLE is their holy book — split into the Old Testament (shared with Judaism) and the New Testament, which tells of Jesus's life through the four GOSPELs. Jesus often taught using a PARABLE, a short story with a deeper meaning, like the Good Samaritan.
Many Christian ideas and festivals are woven into everyday life around the world. EASTER remembers Jesus's death on the CROSS and his return to life, while Christmas celebrates his birth — and the CROSS itself has become one of the most recognised symbols on Earth. Christians belong to many different groups, from Catholic to Protestant and Orthodox, who worship in their own ways but share the same core FAITH. That makes Christianity a central, clearly-defined RE topic on beliefs, festivals and worship.
