For the first time in history, a Nativity scene was displayed on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Tuesday, marking what organizers say is a milestone for religious freedom and the First Amendment.
The display, accompanied by prayer, Christmas carols and a reading of the Christmas story, was made possible by a landmark federal court decision that granted Rev. Patrick Mahoney and his supporters the right to peacefully celebrate the Christmas season on Capitol grounds.
Held on the southeastern steps of the Capitol, the display was the culmination of a legal battle that began over a decade ago when Mahoney, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Christian Defense Coalition, faced repeated threats of arrest for his attempts to read the Christmas story from the Bible and hold a Nativity display at the Capitol Christmas tree.

That means that The Santanic Temple will sue to have their display there too.
This is what happened at the State House in Concord, NH.
Put up a Nativity scene. Have to put up a Satan statue too.

First time? I’m surprised at that.

Looks like Mary Joseph and baby Jesus are black.
Thus ensuring that it would be approved.

,,, apart from other religions and “religions”, it’s a reminder that Christmas isn’t only a “holiday season” and a commercial rip. Happy birthday Jesus!

VP Harris took one look at it and yelled: "YOU'RE AT THE WRONG RALLY!"

There it is. That's how it might be able to stay. Someone was thinking ahead.
