lent quiz 2026
On each day of the forty days of Lent (from Ash Wednesday until Holy Saturday, excluding Sundays) an aerial photograph of an English cathedral or major parish church will be published. The images can be accessed by following the day’s link below when it goes live. The challenge is quite simple: identify the cathedral or church, from among all of England's cathedrals and major parish churches. The Church of England provides a helpful searchable directory of all the church buildings in England at https://facultyonline.churchofengland.org/churches?grade=&period=&name=&diocese=&buildingatrisk=&footprint=&recordtype=1,3.
Each day’s answer can be submitted from the day on which it is published until the end of the Sunday following it, so - for example - Ash Wednesday's answer can be submitted from Ash Wednesday until the end of the First Sunday of Lent, and Good Friday's answer can be submitted from Good Friday until the end of Easter Day. Multiple submissions can be made, although only the last one will be scored. A correct answer will earn a point. The player with the highest score (out of a possible 40) on Easter Monday will be the overall winner; if there is a tie, the overall winner will be selected at random.
