Despite complaints and threats from an atheist group, a Pennsylvania mayor has shown his courage by supporting his town's annual Christmas tradition of displaying a Nativity scene in front of the Municipal building, the Christian Post website reports today (December 5, 2011).
Hundreds gathered at Elmwood City's borough building to support the 50-year-tradition Nativity display last Friday (December 2).
Last year, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) tried to break the ritual by accusing Elmwood City of endorsing Christianity.
Instead of protesters, dozens of Lawrence County residents gathered at city hall this year, carrying wooden crosses and signs that read, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season." Elmwood City Mayor Tony Court said, "I'm overwhelmed."
