Mainz Cathedral in Germany is showcasing the world’s largest Bible page to the public in honor of the 625th birthday of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press and producer of the Gutenberg Bible.

The 16.4 x 23.6 foot page presents the first page of John’s Gospel with a translation from the Shuckburgh Bible, a type of Gutenberg Bible and it's on display through Aug. 31. It has been placed in the east choir section of the cathedral.

The Mayor of Mainz, Nino Haase, and the Dean of Mainz Cathedral, the Rev. Henning Priesel, presented the Bible page at a media presentation on April 28.
