Nativity Scene Controversy In Brussels

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM - NOVEMBER 28: (L-R) Belgian designer, artistic director and entrepreneur Jean-Paul Lespagnard, Brussels Mayor Philippe Close, the German born interior architect and designer Victoria Maria Geyer, and the dean Benoit Lobet talk to media about the controversial nativity scene in Brussels Grand-Place on November 28, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. In 2025 Brussels installed a “faceless, inclusive” nativity scene made from recycled textiles at the Grand‑Place, prompting criticism that the redesign erases traditional religious imagery while supporters tout it as a modern, secular interpretation; simultaneously, the European Parliament displayed a nativity scene for the first time, sparking debate over whether such a display could be seen as offensive to non‑believers (Footage by Thierry Monasse/Getty Images)
