If you’d like to read the original Christmas story in a miniature Bible on display in the UK, get out your magnifying glass.
A tiny copy of the King James Bible is on public display at Leeds Central Library in Leeds, England, SWNS news agency reports.
The Bible dates from approximately 1911 and measures 1.9 by 1.3 inches, small enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.

The tiny Bible made headlines during the coronavirus lockdown when it was first discovered and is “believed to be one of the smallest examples of its kind in the world,” according to SWNS. That’s what it means.
Leeds Central Library is displaying a series of ‘enchanting Christmas classics’ alongside mini-texts.
