VATICAN CITY---A delegation from St. John’s University met Friday with Pope Francis at the Vatican to present him with the seventh and final volume of a special edition of the most famous Bible in Minnesota. The book, Letters and Revelations, is part of a full-sized replica of the original Saint John’s Bible, which was handwritten and hand-illustrated for St. John’s University in Collegeville. The previous six volumes had been presented to the Vatican over the past decade. [link]
