St. John's Bible visit to St. Peter
​March 20, 2019

---

Hosted by the Order of Malta, nearly 150 guests came to St. Peter to view the St. John's Bible. Speaker Steve Nelson, KM, a graduate of Saint John’s University and a Knight of the Order of Malta from Scottsdale, Arizona, shared his expertise with regard to the bible. The bible is the first hand-illuminated Bible since the invention of the printing press over 500 years ago. Created through the collaboration of Benedictine Monks at Saint John’s in Minnesota and Donald Jackson, the former scribe to
Queen Elizabeth in Wales, this Catholic Bible is a stunning work of art. It combines breathtaking calligraphy and inspired illuminations.
