In Frankfurt during the Biblical Year proclaimed by the Catholic and Protestant Churches in 2003, the Daughters of St. Paul initiated having the entire Bible hand-copied. This has now become a museum-quality work. Bookstore patrons, passersby, families, and school groups have contributed to the transcription of the sacred texts over the years.
After the closure of the Frankfurt community in 2005, the project continued to move ahead until its completion of twelve volumes—ten Old Testament and two New Testament—bound in 2018. Due to the pandemic, the project was only recently officially concluded.
A thanksgiving mass was celebrated on October 19th, attended by long time collaborators. The work is now housed in the Nuremberg Biblical Museum as a symbol of faith and collective participation.
