This year, the Thomas More Society and American Nativity Scene are helping a growing number of private citizen groups across the nation to display Biblical manger scenes on government property this Christmas season.
Celebrations of the Savior’s birth are scheduled with 43 State Capitol Nativity Scenes across America this Christmas.
“In 2023, we are pleased to announce that 43 State Capitol Nativity Scenes, the most to date, are scheduled to be erected at state capitols this Christmas season,” shared Ed O’Malley, president of American Nativity Scene. …
As CBN News reported, the tradition dates back to 1223 after St. Francis of Assisi visited the Holy Land and wanted to recreate what he saw for his friends and family in Italy. …
American Nativity Scene worked closely with attorneys at Thomas More Society to make sure that groups that desired to sponsor a state capitol Nativity scene were able to do so, as allowed by law. …

Yes! It Is encouraging & reminding! Thank You !
This information is well received and so good to hear about. Praise the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.
Yes and truly hoping that Pennsylvanian is one of them… ma y God be glorified- His kingdom come
AMAZING, thank God for all 43 states displaying the nativity scenes of your Son who was born on this huge celebration to bring salvation to mankind!!
Praise the Lord! We celebrated our 50th Anniversary of our Live Nativity Scene at Glendora City Hall in Southern California this year. God has blessed us by allowing the true message of Christmas to be proclaimed to all who come.
Father, thank you for this good report. May every state capital host a Nativity scene instead of just 43. Soften the hearts of those who are rebelling against you and if they do not repent, replace them with those who are serving you. Thank you for what you are doing in our country. Continue to bring revival, but not just revival but reformation so those who come to you may be discipled and grow in you.
We need to work hard to get Donald Trump back in the Whitehouse!! We need to stand with Israel and against antisemitism.
God we pray to save our nation United States of America from communists, socialists and terrorist.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end . . . (Isaiah 9:6–7).
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray these prophetic words of Isaiah will resonate with conviction in our leaders’ hearts, not only this Christmas season but in each day of each year to come. I continue to pray they will seek Your leadership because in that reliance, Americans will know the security and strength that can only be found in the Name of Jesus. Blessings and peace to the leaders of the 7 states who have denied the Nativity…we celebrate its Truth which cannot be denied. Amen
I’m glad to hear this.
What are the 7 states that will not have state capital nativity scenes?
I would be more encouraged if this government would stop honoring the birth of Jesus on a a pagan holiday. It is a fact that Jesus was not born on December 25, that he was born in September.This is an absolute abomination to God. Separate the two. How do you think God feels about this ?The (Bible says not to do this if you believe) truth is there and we must choose are we going to trust God or what Satan is saying.Even the Church has it wrong, when will we learn before it is to late. CHANGE!
As Christians we should be bold in the Lord. I thank God there’s 43 states participating in the birth of Jesus. We all should stand together, and stand for Jesus!
Having a Nativity Scene is beautiful
Praying for Israel, the hostages and the IDF. God is with them all.
Lord, praise and glory be to Your name that in state of turmoil, there are as many as 43 state capitols that display the Nativity! We pray for their mighty witness. We also lift up the seven remaining state capitols that, ultimately, they would be allowed to display the Nativity as well. More than this right, we pray for their witnessing effectiveness, that they would even penetrate the truth of the gospel into the hearts of even the most hardened, atheistic individuals. Some of those unbelievers may be involved in the government. Pull the reins on their hearts, through these Nativity scenes, so that they would be transformed and partake of a genuinely Merry Christmas! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen!!!! God bless you!!!!
Does anyone know where the one in New York is located?
How encouraging! May the real reason for the season be accepted by many as hearts are softened and open to God’s Gift! Glory to God!!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Keep Christ in Christmas what else is there to say?
Lord, we boldly ask for these 43 states of America to experience revival, awakening, peace, prosperity, salvation, relief – causing proclamation of Your love and purpose – we ask that the seven remaining would take notice of Your moving across our land and relent – we foresee the harvest and we are filled with Joy
Amen!!!!
Lord, our Nation needs you! While there are 43 of 50 states displaying imagery around your birth – so You show the world your love for us – Emmanuel – help us to keep abiding in you … the leaders of each City, County, State & Federal jurisdiction acknowledging ‘’in God we Trust” that we are “one Nation under God” in all our ways and means! Merry Christmas, may the Peace of Christ reign!
Having nativity scenes in every state capital should be standard procedure as CHRISTmas marks the birth of our Lord, whether you’re a believer or not. As we allowed ourselves to have been intimidated by organizations to remove these birth of Christ displays over the years whilst we continued all the commercial, materialistic traditions created for monetary gain, Satan swept in as we turned a blind eye to his denomic statues being displayed in state capitals. Only now have our officials decided to re establish the correct displays marking Christmas. We never needed a loophole to continue this justified tradition, but we need to pay more attention to what is going on around us.
On behalf of the Christians on the Island of Guam, a U.S. territory in the Western Pacific, I pray that Guam leaders respond to an initiative to display the Christmas Nativity scene at either the Adelup Gov. Ricardo Bordallo Executive Complex or at the Guam Congress Building. We pray this in Christ Jesus! Amen
Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy Blessed New Year to the good people of Guam. America’s celebration of Christmas starts in Guam.
