For the Very First Time, a Nativity Scene Will be Displayed at the United States Capitol Steps Along with Prayer, Christmas Carols and Reading of the Christmas Story

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2024 /Standard Newswire/ -- Organizers say, "this event has ended and won the war on Christmas in the public square."

"Christmas Carols and Nativity Display" will be held on Tuesday, December 10, at 12:00 PM at the southeastern steps of the US Capitol. (The House of Representatives side.)

This event was made possible in May of 2024, when Rev. Patrick Mahoney won an historic federal court victory where the court ruled the steps of the US Capitol were a public forum, and peaceful demonstrations could no longer be prohibited.

Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Director of the Washington, D.C. based Christian Defense Coalition, states:

    "We are so very thankful for the opportunity to share the joyful and powerful message of Christmas at the steps of the United States Capitol. In a hurting and wounded world, there is no more redemptive and healing message than the Christmas story.

    "The hopeful declaration of 'Peace on earth, goodwill toward man,' is one that needs to be heard and embraced by all Americans.

    "The words spoken by the prophet Isaiah centuries ago are still relevant for us today. 'For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.'

    "This is also a significant victory for religious freedom and the 1st Amendment. This event has ended and won the war on Christmas in the public square. For if Christmas can be celebrated and displayed in the most powerful public square in America, it can be celebrated publicly everywhere."
