LeicesterCathedralExhibition

 

Leicester in England, has an exhibition called "500 Years of the Bible in English" from Tyndale to today, which is being held in St George's Chapel at the Cathedral. The description says:

"2025–2026 is the quincentenary of the translation and printing of the New Testament from the earliest Greek manuscripts into everyday English. Up to the reign of Henry VIII, the Bible’s great message was locked away in a language few could understand, and even quoting a verse in English was illegal and punishable by death. While the Renaissance and Reformation raged in Europe, one Englishman, William Tyndale, gave his life’s work – and ultimately his life – to put into the hands of the ordinary person the book that would give them eternal hope, and would go on to transform the nation. Come and discover this exciting story."
