Sacred Symbols

In this worksheet, students read four short descriptions that relate to key Good Friday symbols and identify the correct symbol from a provided word bank. They must match each description to one of the following: cross, crown of thorns, nails, or robe. The activity encourages students to think critically about the meaning of each symbol and how it connects to the Good Friday narrative. Students practice close reading as they interpret descriptive clues and apply background knowledge about Christian traditions. This task helps reinforce vocabulary, symbolic understanding, and comprehension skills.
