Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the stations of the cross, how many times did Jesus fall?

Answer: 3

There are 14 stations of the cross. The first station begins with Jesus' condemnation to death and ends with Him dying on the cross. Stations 3,7 and 9 depict the falls. The purpose of the Stations is so we don't forget what Jesus has done for us in the way of Salvation.

2. How many apostles were there during the time of Jesus' ministry (before his crucifixion), as validated and listed in the gospels?

Answer: 12

Their names were Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, Thaddaeus, Simon, and Judas. Of course, Judas was the only apostle that is not a Saint, because of his betrayal of Jesus. Judas was replaced after he committed suicide and Paul was also considered an apostle because he was trained by Jesus in the desert.

This was after Christ had gone back to heaven, but the Bible shows that He came back down to train Paul. There were 14 total.

3. Who saw the burning bush?

Answer: Moses

From the burning bush, God promised that he would deliver Israel from Egypt.

4. Where was Jesus born?

Answer: Bethlehem

Though the Holy Family lived in Nazareth for a period of time, it was in Bethlehem where the Saviour was born.

5. What was the name of the angel who appeared to Mary to tell her she was going to be the Mother of God's Son?

Answer: Gabriel

Think how scared Mary must have been when only a teenager she was asked to be the mother of the Saviour! She had the faith enough to say yes, which changed the course of humanity.

6. How many days did Jesus remain on earth after his resurrection?

Answer: 40

40 days after His resurrection we celebrate Ascension Thursday.

7. Who was the governor responsible for Jesus' crucifixion?

Answer: Pilate

Pilate was the only one who could either free Jesus or crucify him. In his heart he knew Jesus didn't do anything wrong, but he gave into the shouts and cries of 'Crucify Him!' from the people.

8. What was the name of Mary's cousin who got pregnant at an old age and was pregnant with John The Baptist?

Answer: Elizabeth

Mary, 3 months pregnant with Jesus, raced over to help her cousin with her pregnancy. She stayed with Elizabeth until John was born, then returned home to await the birth of Jesus.

9. How many decades, or sets of ten beads, are there in an ordinary rosary?

Answer: 5

There are 5 decades of the rosary in total and 4 sets of Mysteries; meditating on each set of Mysteries consists of praying 5 decades, one for each Mystery in the set. The Mysteries are Joyful (meditation on the birth and life of Jesus), Sorrowful (meditation on the condemnation and death of Jesus), and Glorious (meditation on the resurrection of Jesus and Assumption of Mary) as well as a brand new set added by the Pope 2002, called the Mysteries of Light.

A decade of the rosary consists of 1 Our Father and 10 Hail Mary's, which are prayed while meditating on a mystery.

10. How old was Jesus when he became 'lost' and was found at the Temple talking to priests and doctors answering and asking wise questions?

Answer: 12

His answer to his parents when found was, 'Did you not know that I had to be about My Father's business?'
