On November 3, 2009, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in France ruled that the presence of crucifixes in classrooms in Italy violated a child's right to freedom of religion.
Consequently, Italy must remove all the crucifixes from all of its classrooms.
The Greek Orthodox Church is urging Christians throughout Europe to oppose this ban of classroom crucifixes, because it fears that this ruling could set a precedent to ban crucifixes in other European countries.
