120 year old Mexican BIble

I found this up on Flickr and thought it was an interesting example of how the Bible can become Art and History in and of itself.

From the Flickr post (click the image for the full posting)...

Back of a 120 year old bible, returned to the Catholic church in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico May 2005 with taped up ripped sections, hand stitched together, and rusted metal clasps.

This bible was originally used in a Protestant church in Oklahoma, and is from a private family there. The page style is gothic.

We donated this Bible back to the church in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A 92 year old Seattle woman gave it to a friend who gave it immediately to me in West Seattle. She has family but no one is Christian.
