NEW YORK, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- A Catholic group has sent small nativity scenes to all 50 U.S. state governors, describing its gifts as an inoffensive way to mark the Christmas season.
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights announced the effort last week, calling the nativity scenes "a Christmas campaign almost everyone will like." President William Donohue said the one-piece scenes depicting the infant Jesus in the manger were sent to chiefs of staff with letters to the governors notifying them of the gifts and urging their display in statehouses.
