Children’s Codex

Two of the students with the codex

Each of the 140 schools which helped to create a historic Children’s Codex received a free copy of the leather-bound book in April.

A further 1,000 copies of the codex – a collection of Bible stories bound into one book – have been printed and will go on sale around Sunderland and Jarrow.

The Children’s Codex – a Bible Society project – was created to mark 1,300 years since monks at Wearmouth-Jarrow monastery, in Sunderland, transcribed and illustrated three Latin Bibles and took one to Rome as a gift for the Pope.
