The Saint John’s Bible is the first handwritten bible, commissioned by a Benedictine monastery in more than five hundred years, on approximately 1,150 pages and including one 160 major illuminations. A copy of the large, seven-volume leather bound Heritage Edition, which is a fine art reproduction of The Saint John’s Bible, has been donated to us and is now on permanent display at St. Benedict Center. This workshop is for those who might be interested in becoming docents or guides for The Saint John’s Bible: You will get to know The Saint John’s Bible, learn “why” and “how” the original manuscript was created and become familiar with the illuminations.
