The Bible was always the most sacred book. The young Christians are filling it with post-ps, underlined and cuquis covers

It was inevitable: the increase in young people making visible their membership in different creeds has led to absorption by religions, more needy than ever of new faithful, of many of their customs and ways of expressing themselves. One of the last: the personalized Bibles, an authentic fever that hides more than young faithful making a sacred book.

Make your own Bible. An almost professional customizer as Kaylee Armbrustwhose content is entirely on religious issues, shared in the summer of 2024, in a video reproduced more than two million times, a series of ideas To take notes in the Bible: post-ps, underlined, margins, added pages, additional texts … an authentic codes and colors festival to enhance the reading of the sacred book of the Christian faithful.

#Biblestudy. Of course, it is not the only one: through hashtag #Biblestudywhich already has almost two million publications, you can find multiple faithful (the vast majority, women) painting their bibles and doing tutorials on how to do Personalized thematic indices or decorate them as if they were literally a school newspaper. The result is small works of art of obsessive thought. In Spanish they also abound, of course, with hashtags like #FEEATIVA, #Diariobiblico either #yopintomibiblia.

Change faith. This personalization of the Bibles reflects a change in the relationship of people with faith: before, the sacred from the collective was venerated, now believers have more individual and personalized beliefs. That’s why Sacred objects They begin to customize towards the identity and aesthetics of each one. Of reminders of faith have become an exclusive expression of what each one believes. Digital, of course, It has a lot to do with this changeand obviously, the younger believers have been one of the Great drivers of this change.

This is the youth of the Pope. You just have to take a looktags like #christiantiktokwith more than 22 million publications or #JOVENESCRISTIANOSits equivalent in Spanish, with almost five million, to understand to what extent young people have become one of the fundamental engines of this resurgence of religions in networks. We have talked about Hakuna phenomenon And how 85,000 people congregated in cyber, a number of audience worth competing with pop stars, or young nuns that From his convents They have become authentic Influencers. The next step is in the details: young Christians carrying their personality to everyday attitudes such as reading the Bible.

And you get money. In addition to the undisputed rejuvenating touch that these activities have, that many of these young people see as a way to evangelize attractively, there is the possibility of doing business. The one of Journaling to dry It crosses, in Etsy, with the market of the Personalized Biblesmany of them with a very useful additive: wider margins with space to take notes. Leather covers abound and tapas orders are accepted with the client’s name, although the truth is that there are few pleasures such as fill with oneself The sacred book.

Young people are getting something unpayable in the times that run, in which the number of Christians descends without brake (in Europe 17 million faithful has fallen In the last five years): Provide visibility in networks to which the Church cannot aspire. And the Cuquis Bibles are just one more proof that the sacred sometimes takes unusual ways to survive.
