✝️ Final Thought
Saint trivia can be so fun and educational, but it also has a spiritual element.
The saints were ordinary people who let God do extraordinary things through them. As G.K. Chesterton wrote,
“The saint is a medicine because he is an antidote. Indeed, that is why the saint is often a martyr — he is mistaken for a poison because he is an antidote.”
Playing Saint Trivia is a joyful way to remind our kids (and ourselves!) that holiness is not boring — it’s the greatest adventure of all.
