Last week, Saint John's Abbey announced that the first hand written Bible in 500 years was complete. This 10 year, multi-million dollar project has captured the imagination of many people. I have featured some of the stunning artwork from this Bible in earlier posts.
An exhibition of the most recently completed pages is at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. I saw a similar exhibition of other portions of the Bible some years ago and cannot wait to see the new pages. Pictures do not do justice to the vibrant colors and design. If you get a chance, see the exhibit. You won't be disappointed.
Congratulations to the monks of Saint John's Abbey for sponsoring this incredible project. To Donald Jackson, lead calligrapher, and all those who gave their talents to this work, thank you for committing yourselves to this monumental work.
