ROME, Italy (AP) -- Pope Benedict XVI's "In the beginning" started off a weeklong Bible-reading marathon on Italian television Sunday.
RAI state TV began its program called "The Bible Day and Night," with Benedict reciting the first chapter of the book of Genesis -- the holy text's opening verses about the creation of the world.
The marathon will feature more than 1,200 people reading the Old and New Testament in over seven days and six nights.
On the other hand quran is recited complete at least once in every mosque during ramadan,and round the year many times.In addition people like me recite the whole book complete during the 30 odd days of ramadan.
It may be the only book that is completely memorized,accurately each and every word of it,by millions round the world.
And hey ramadan finished last week and i celebrated "eid" ,mission accomplished.
