For the first time in United States history, a nativity scene is on display on Capitol Hill. Tuesday afternoon, the "Christmas Carols and Nativity Display" was held on the southeastern steps of the U.S. Capitol, on the House of Representatives side. The event included prayer, Christmas carols, and a Scripture reading about the birth of Jesus.
For the first time in United States history, a Nativity will be on display at the U.S. Capitol. The display will be on the southeastern steps in front of the House of Representatives Dec. 10.
According to a newsletter from the Christian Defense Coalition, the display comes after Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, won a federal court case in May that ruled that the steps of the U.S. Capitol building are a public forum. Thus, peaceful demonstrations can take place on the steps of the building.
