Sacred Signs

How much can you recognize from the sacred signs of the world?

A cross. A menorah. A prayer wheel. A torii gate. A sacred vessel. A symbol you have seen a hundred times-but do you actually know what it means?

Sacred Signs turns the fascinating world of religious symbols, sacred objects, architecture, and traditions into an engaging 300-question trivia journey.

Travel across cultures and centuries as you test what you know-and discover plenty of things you probably don't-about Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Sikhism, Shinto, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, and other traditions explored throughout the book.

Inside you'll encounter questions about:

• Sacred symbols and their meanings
• Icons and religious imagery
• Ritual objects and ceremonial vessels
• Temples, churches, mosques, synagogues, shrines, and other sacred spaces
• Colours, numbers, patterns, and meaningful signs
• Clothing and objects used in worship and devotion
• Symbols shared-or interpreted differently-across traditions

With 300 questions plus an answer key, this isn't a heavy textbook. It's a book to open at the kitchen table, take on a trip, share with family and friends, or keep nearby whenever you're in the mood to challenge your knowledge.

Some answers may come instantly.

Some will make you think.

And some may leave you saying, "I've seen that all my life... and I never knew what it meant!"

Whether you're fascinated by world cultures, religion, history, symbolism, art, or simply love a good trivia challenge, Sacred Signs offers a thoughtful and entertaining way to discover how people around the world have expressed faith through signs, objects, places, and traditions.
