Trump isn't even in office yet and "Merry Christmas" is overtaking "Happy Holidays" in the halls of power.
For the first time EVER, yes, somehow ever, a Christian nativity scene was displayed at the United States capitol building this week.
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.
Reverend Patrick Mahoney shared this on X earlier this week:
Is this Christian Nationalism? No, it's just Americans exercising their constitutional right to free speech by practicing their religion on the steps of the capitol.
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 ...
In a statement, Mahoney offered his gratitude for making history.
'We are so very thankful for the opportunity to share the joyful and powerful message of Christmas at the steps of the U.S. Capitol,' Mahoney said. 'In a hurting and wounded world, there is no more redemptive and healing message than the Christmas story.'
Mahoney filed suit in 2022, asserting his right to share the Christmas message in D.C. on the steps of the Capitol, and with his recent victory he wasted no time in bringing the Nativity out of the shadows, sharing the true meaning of Christmas.
A victory for religious freedom and a tremendous declaration of the glory of God.
