Various Dutch churches have hosted exhibitions focused on religious heritage and community history.

In July, the Noorderkerk and Tuindorpkerk presented displays such as ‘Draad van het leven’, which featured baptism dresses and traditional birth tiles, and ‘Alledaagse hemel’, which utilized photography and handcrafted crosses to explore everyday beauty and social justice. 

By August, the Broederenkerk in Deventer opened an exhibition titled ‘Bewaren + Bidden + Bewonderen’ (Preserve + Pray + Admire). This display focuses on the history of Deventer’s relics from approximately 940 to 2026, highlighting an 1891 reliquary containing the remains of four saints: Lebuinus, Marcellinus, Radboud, and Mildred.
