Catholic Chaplain Removes a Nativity Scene Next To Muslim Graveyard because Muslims claimed it was offensive

A Catholic priest in Italy came under fire after he canceled an annual Nativity scene, saying it could offend Muslims. The move triggered a wave of criticism, his predecessor calling him to remember that he lives in Italy and “not in Saudi Arabia.”
The move took place in the city of Cremona, northern Italy, when Father Sante Braggie, chaplain of the Municipal Cemetery, said there would be no nativity scene at the entrance of the local graveyard this Christmas, local media reported.



A nativity scene is the special exhibition depicting those gathered after the birth of Jesus. It is usually exhibits figures of the infant, his mother Mary and her husband Joseph, as well as shepherds, sheep, and angels.
