I was given a children's hand missal as a First Holy Communion gift. It is bound in black faux leather, it is illustrated in color, and it is inscribed with the dates of my Sacraments, including space for future Matrimony, Religious Consecration, or Holy Orders.
It's the most beautiful book I've ever owned, although it is mass-produced (so to speak.) 40 years later, I still have it carefully preserved and accessible.
- taeric 3y agoApologies, I meant that to be that "by the numbers" I would feel safe wagering that kid's bibles were not nearly as well kept as "family" ones. For mostly obvious reasons. Seriously, I could also make the claim that the bible is the most destroyed book in history. Without worrying too much about the final numbers, as that is an easy claim. It is the most printed book in the modern world. It should dominate all followon statistics.
