ST. PAUL (AP) The archbishop of Minneapolis and St. Paul will receive a rare, fine art reproduction of the Saint John's Bible in honor of his retirement.

The bible is a full-size reproduction, which is signed by the artistic director of the Saint John's Bible. The book is about two feet tall and three feet wide. It weighs 20 pounds.

The Eugene and Mary Frey family helped pay for the gift.

Flynn has been archbishop of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis for more than 11 years.
