Mullins Nativity Scene Dispute Continues

Mullins Nativity Scene Dispute Continues

In a small town in South Carolina, a woman named Kimberly Byrd put up a small Nativity scene in a public parking lot to make the area feel festive for Christmas.

The mayor, Miko Pickett, told her to take it down because he thinks it's not right to have religious symbols in public places.

But Kimberly refused, saying that the Nativity scene is an important part of Christmas celebrations.

The scene is just a small part of the decorations that include things like wreaths, lights, Santa Claus, and a snowman.

Kimberly and her team paid for all the decorations themselves.

The mayor is worried about the law, but Kimberly believes the scene should stay up.
