Eureka Springs, Arkansas, will allow a nativity scene to remain in a park this Christmas season despite threats of a lawsuit and demands that it be removed from public space.
The baby Jesus can stay put in his manger in the band shell of a downtown city park in Eureka Springs as long as the executive director of the Great Passion Play gets a permit for the display and pays the $25 fee, Mayor Robert "Butch" Berry said.
A nativity scene that has been part of a decades-old tradition in a local Eureka Springs, Arkansas park will remain on display during this Christmas season. But whether or not it will be allowed to continue in the future remains to be seen.
