Boulder County’s holiday display with religious and secular symbols sparks debate over faith in public spaces.

Boulder County residents are still discussing a controversial holiday display at a local government building featuring a nativity scene alongside symbols from other faiths and secular winter celebrations, sparking debate over religious expression in public spaces. The display, which includes a crèche, a menorah, a snowman, and a winter solstice symbol, was installed by county officials to reflect diverse holiday traditions. While some praise the inclusive approach, others argue it crosses the line into endorsing religion. The county has stated the display complies with constitutional guidelines, emphasizing its secular purpose and the inclusion of multiple traditions. No legal action has been filed, but the discussion continues to draw attention during the holiday season.
