The religious landscape in the Netherlands has dramatically changed over the past 50 years. Church attendance and membership have declined sharply, with over 80% of people rarely or never attending church now compared to 43% in 1966. The number of people living in monastic communities has declined from 50,000 in 1960 to only 5,000 in 2016, with the average age being 86. Between 1975 and 2008, over 1,500 monasteries and convents were closed. As a result of these changes, hundreds of religious buildings have been closed, with projections that over 90% of churches could close in the next ten years. This has led to a surplus of 200,000 to 500,000 redundant religious objects that need assessing and documenting to

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on November 1st. It was a day to honor the dead and celebrate the end of the harvest season. When the Romans conquered Celtic lands, they combined their own autumn festival with Samhain, shifting it to November 1st. In the 19th century, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought Halloween traditions to North America. Today, Halloween is celebrated commercially with costumes, trick-or-treating, and carving jack-o'-lanterns, though some traditions stem from ancient Celtic beliefs about contacting the dead.
