Strands #293
“Keeping the faith”
🔵🔵🔵🔵
🟡🔵
Hi Strands fans. I was rather fortunate today that I got the longest answer right away.
I saw TABERNACLE in the top-right corner, and after a couple of attempts to spell it right (it's not a word I use every day) it went blue and made it clear that the theme of "Keeping the faith" was about places of worship.
With that in mind, I found MOSQUE to its left, and then TEMPLE along the right-hand side.
MONASTERY was spelt out neatly along the bottom, and that left me ready to tackle the spangram. Sure enough, I found SACREDSPACES spelt backward from right to left.
That just left a five-letter anagram to decode to complete the puzzle. BBAEY was, of course, ABBEY.
