Citizens of Eindhoven could bid farewell to its extraordinary resident on Saturday in the auditorium of the Sint Catharina church.
With the preaching icon gone, it’s quiet in Eindhoven city centre. But Arnol Kox is still in our minds. On social media there are various reactions about the death of the city preacher and condolences are pouring in. According to many, Arnol belonged to the city, with his sermons, text boards and his mobile scooter.
Shoppers and shopkeepers, therefore, call it a great loss for the city centre now that ‘our crying preacher’ is no longer there.
