I love Queen Beatrix, she is always with a smile on her face. I think she belongs to the "sunny people". I respect her very much.

To display several of the other top pieces there's a hole in the roof as the Empress Catherine the Great's State Coach will

In the presence of Queen Beatrix, the exhibition ‘Calvin & Us’ was opened in the Grote Kerk (Great Church) in Dordrecht on thursday night, as on July 10th it will be 500 years ago that John Calvin was born. The exhibition wants to show the caricatures that still exist about the church reformer of the 16th century, says Prof. Dr. Herman Selderhuis. John Calvin was not a man for long sermons and boring sunday’s. ‘He is often portrayed with his finger pointing upwards, not as a know-it-all, but to point to God’ says Selderhuis in ‘Het Nederlands Dagblad’.
Selderhuis also referred to the tragedy in Apeldoorn on April 30th. ‘What real calvinism is, we were able to witness last wee’k. When on a bright day it became dark all of a sudden. Ramsey Nasr, national poet, opened the exhibition with a poem about John Calvin, which he wrote especially for this occassion. In the poem he is searching for God and for the ‘Calvin in me”. Queen Bearix, who was received with applause, was the first one to get a tour after the exhibition was opened.
