Why do Marianettes have a number?

Though Marianette1 insists that we have numbers because of hierarchy, other Marianettes don't agree with her. Originally, numbers were meant to protect our identities and keep us enigmatic but somehow it turned out that everybody knows who is who. What a surprise! So now numbers are tradition ;-) and besides we like to practise counting! LOL

No, but there are plans... Marianette2 adds that only the best ones have a Marian doll. ;-)

How can I become a Marianette?

Being a Marianette is innate - you either love Marian or you don't. If you're not a born Marianette, you can become an honorary one by asking us and we'll test you to find out how loyal you really are. And then, if you pass, we'll assign you a number. In other words, if you love Marian and want to be part of the Shrine, you just have to contact us. ;-)
