In an age when we can carry the Bible around in our cellphones, the Benedictine monks at St. John’s Abbey and University in Minnesota have created a handwritten illuminated Bible like monks made in medieval times until the invention of the printing press 500 years ago.
It’s known as The St. John’s Bible. St. Patrick’s Cathedral received one of only 12 copies known as The Apostles Edition on Monday, the Feast of St. Jerome who is the patron saint of biblical study.
Cardinal Dolan presided over the blessing and dedication. In his homily, he said the gift of these works of art remind us that God’s holy word is His work of art and His gift to us.
