Georgians creating 'world's biggest bible
Bible will weigh over 100kg. A team of artists, linguists, theologians and priests is creating the world's largest bible - in ancient Georgian.
We simply work to save our souls and to bring joy
Rafael Gogitdze
The bible is being hand-painted by a group of Georgian artists led by Rusudan Petviashvili, whose childhood drawings were described by Picasso as works of genius.
Russian television showed the team painting the bible, which will weigh over 100kg (220 pounds), will be 1.5 metres (five feet) high and 70cm (28 inches) wide.
The team has been working on the bible for 10 years. They have been joined by a group of bible scholars and calligraphers. The team expect to finish the painting and binding in a few months.
