7th Circuit Upholds Nativity Display

 Becket Fund Press Release

 Some Money quotations:

It turns out the ACLU can’t cancel Baby Jesus. A federal appeals court just ruled that the nativity scene at the Jackson County courthouse can stay, making it one of the first federal appeals courts to apply the Supreme Court’s recognition that religious displays like nativity scenes are allowed their place in the public square. The three wise men and the shepherds can now rest easy. 

And this:

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals said that the County’s display “fits within a long national tradition of using the nativity scene in broader holiday displays to ‘depict the historical origins’ of Christmas—a ‘traditional event long recognized as a National Holiday.’”

When SCOTUS speaks the lower courts listen.
