SONS: Save Our Nativity Scenes

Each Christmas season in Palisades Park in Santa Monica, California, for many years, 14 booths have lined a block along Ocean Avenue with life-size scenes depicting events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. For information and past photos on this community tradition that has saluted the true meaning of Christmas for more than a half-century, please click on the links above.

The 2011 display is different.  A small group of out-of-town atheists schemed to monopolize display space, and a city lottery awarded the Nativity Scenes enough space for only three booths in 2011. 

For information on how you can help restore the full 14 booths to Palisades Park for 2012, please click the SONS link at the top of this page.
