"Give us each day our daily bread" (Luke 11:3). Bread was one of man's first prepared foods, around 30,000 years ago; so it should come as no surprise that it has a prominent role in the Bible. This crossword explores "bread" in that context. All references are from the Bible's New International Version. There are three anagrams. Enjoy!
