José, manager of the "Saint Paul Centre", was so kind to give what was left of Our Lady into my care. I took Her to my former home & built her a Garden Shrine > see the story of Her changing surroundings through the years in pictures left & right. Her Shrine was inaugurated & blessed at the first Boutman Birthday Party in 2008 by Johan, our school teacher of Catholic religion. This is how Our Lady looked like while She was watching over us during the 2008 party at my (former) house:
(> Boutman Band: My youngest son left, lead guitar, bass guitar: Koen, drums ~hidden in the back ~ my middle son > performing "Sultans Of Swing" ~Dire Straits)
 |
My students singing a birthday song for me, with adapted lyrics to the music of "Let It Be" > The Beatles.... so touching & moving... See also video on the left.
 |
And this is how she looked two years later > Spring 2010 (see video at the right):
 |
I gave Her a 'new' name: "Our Lady Of The Rainbow Roses":
 |
But since I moved, She now has a new place at my mother's home, where I live now. It is time to build Her a new Shrine... but first I will try to give Her back Her original dress. You can follow "Operation Maria" here! When Our Lady regains Her original splendour, of course there will be a new inauguration, blessing & party!
This is how Our Lady looks today, before the restoration:
 |
First step: stripping off the paint > awkward moments...
 |
Second step > sanding down + primer coat
 |
Next days > painting in original colors... here's the result, June 8th, 2012 > Our Lady @ sundown, back in Her full splendour (next step: rebuilding Her Shrine):
 |
Final stage: June 9th, 2012 > Our Lady's new Shrine > with a lot of roses to go with it (first let Nature do its work) > left: Red Rose 'Grüss an Heidelberg', right: White Rose "Climbing Iceberg", middle down left: Red Rose "Abundance", middle down right: Red Rose "That's Jazz", front left: Yellow Rose "Lichtköningin Lucia" & right front down lavendar: Blue "Viva Lavendula Felice", already in the garden: front: White Bridal Veil & the Shrine itself is built inside a purple Rhododendron. Now just fix a date for an appropriate inauguration, blessing &.... a joyful Fire Party! To know when > go to Boutman's Facebookpage ;)
