Luke 2 · Matthew 2

The Christmas Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Easy · Ends on Luke 2:7

A stable in Bethlehem, swaddling clothes, a manger for a crib — the Christmas story fits a crossword grid as naturally as it fits a carol. The Christmas Story draws its clues from Luke 2 and Matthew 2: Mary and Joseph, the heavenly host, peace on earth, and the star in the east.

The nativity runs deeper in the archive too: Wise Men from the East follows the magi, while the minis Born in Bethlehem and Heavenly Host make a two-minute Advent habit. Every one closes on a verse from the story it tells.
