Lost at Sea – Do you know the names of the seas?
As he brought the good news of the gospel to the people living near Israel, St. Paul did a lot of travelling on the seas in the area. Although he probably didn’t get to Thrace (the area where present day Bulgaria is located), the sea in the story about Boris notes the name of that sea. Use the clues, maps and your Bible to find the names of the other seas described below.

If you take the 3rd letter of the first sea, the 1st letter of the second sea described, the 2nd letter of number 3, the 3rd letter of the next sea, and the 5th letter of number 5, it’ll spell a word that describes what kind of news the angels told the shepherds about on the first Christmas.
