1An illuminated manuscript is a text supplemented with decorations such as initials, borders, and miniature illustrations. This has naturally lent itself to religious texts, and in Scripture Illuminated you have the opportunity to try your hand at coloring these illuminated texts that depict and supplement stories from the Bible and Scripture verses. As you color, the power of the words--combined with the act of focusing on them--will allow you to reflect, pray, and feel at one with God.
