Religious symbolism

Religious symbolism is like a secret code that religious people use to talk about their beliefs. It’s like a way of using pictures or objects to represent important ideas or stories that are meaningful to their faith. It's like a picture book or puzzle that helps people understand their religion better.

For example, Christians might use the symbol of a cross to represent the story of Jesus dying on the cross, while Muslims might use the symbol of a crescent moon to represent the religion of Islam.

Religious symbols can help people remember important things about their faith and can help them connect with others who share the same beliefs. It's like having special pictures or objects that only your family or friends understand, and it can make you feel like you belong to something bigger than just yourself.
