"The Saint John’s Bible: Experience the Word Come to Life" 

The Saint John’s Bible, the first handwritten and illuminated (illustrated) Bible commissioned by a Benedictine Monastery in 500 years, is featured in a print exhibition at the College of Mount St. Joseph’s Studio San Giuseppe Art Gallery, opening Tuesday and continuing through Feb. 26, as part of a national tour. The exhibit of contemporary biblical art includes 25 large-scale prints and accompanying text that highlights the creative process. In the tradition of medieval Bibles, The Saint John’s Bible is 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide when opened, with almost 1,150 pages bound in seven volumes. It took 15 years to complete. [link]
