The St. John's Bible is heading to the Vatican. On April 4, Pope Benedict XVI will receive a fine art reproduction of the St. John's Bible, St. John's University said today.
It is called the St. Peter Apostles edition and is one of 12 sets of the edition being created.
The St. John's Bible project began in April 1998.
It is the first handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine monastery in five centuries.
The Papal Foundation will present the Bible to the pontiff.
The special edition will include a handwritten dedication page by Donald Jackson, the Wales calligrapher who is the project's artistic director.
