A Christian nativity scene on village property in the Cincinnati suburb of Addyston, Ohio vanished soon after a letter of complaint was sent by the Freedom of Religion Foundation.
An area resident alerted the Foundation on December 10, 2009 about the creche on public property, according to the Religion-in-Society website.
In a letter to Mayor Dan Pillow, Rebecca Kratz, Foundation staff attorney, noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled it is illegal for public entities "to maintain, erect, or host a holiday display that consists solely of a nativity scene, thus singling out, showing preference for, and endorsing one religion."
The nativity scene was removed by December 12.
