Ms. Codex 758 is a small chant book made in the 15th century. It was rebound in the 19th century, and although that binding is falling apart the clasp is still working! This book is featured in the video loop for THE MOVEMENT OF BOOKS, an exhibit about all the ways that books move. You can watch the whole loop on YouTube!

My idea for robe clasps that Hogwarts students might wear.

House clasps for daily school robes:

A very special thanks to sinnedaria for the parchment background.

Jesus is a Savior who can “sympathize with our weaknesses…

Gloria, fell into deep anguish over the dismal prognosis of her daughter’s illness. Little Laura had already suffered enough from the degenerative nerve disorder she had been born with, and now the doctors’ forecast included more suffering and impending death. One night after leaving her daughter’s bedside, she spat, “God, it’s not right. You’ve never had to watch one of your children die!” As soon as the words escaped, she clasped her hand over her mouth. He did watch his child die. His one and only Son. ~ Joni Eareckson Tada
