    Boniface (* around 673 in Crediton; † June 5, 754 or 755 near Dokkum in Friesland, source: Wikipedia) is considered one of the most important missionaries in Friesland. As a result, many churches are named after him, including this one in Leeuwarden, which also has a statue.

      Christ the King is a natural stone statue of Christ with orb and staff on a brick base. The statue stands in front of the St. Boniface Church.

        Around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Sacred Heart worship was revived; Churches dedicated to the Sacred Heart were built and Sacred Heart statues were placed. Especially after the institution of the feast of Christ the King in 1925, Jesus was also depicted as king, with royal attributes such as a crown or scepter.
