Controversy Over Christmas Crib in Grand Place - Brussels

German born interior architect and designer Victoria Maria Geyer (L) and the Brussels Mayor Philippe Close (R) pose beside 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 GrandPlace, 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 nonbelievers. - Photo by Monasse T/ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM
