Kitsch like this was everywhere in the Sixties and Seventies.
Seaside shops, lucky bags and Christmas Crackers.
Here are tiny plastic Holy Bibles, which you can peer into through a little window at the side and see the Lords Prayer.
Rather than being offensive it got the word out.
These are ear rings [on Etsy] but the ones I had were key rings.
I saw some of these toy bibles in a famous Hull joke shop window a few back too.
Seasons Greetings readers!
I once bought 'The World's Smallest Bible' (around an inch or inch-and-a-half high) on a school trip (may even have been a Sunday School trip), but it only contained one of the NT Gospels. And probably not even the complete version.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember them Kid, tiny paper books. I think I had a small bible with metal covers too, maybe a key ring. I imagine its not something you see now.
