The billboards of New York City’s Times Square was overtaken by Jesus Christ and the Nativity Scene in a stunning display to ring in the Christmas season.
The magical 30-minute event was organized by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the end of November.
Videos show people stopping along the busy streets to marvel at the 27 giant screens showing artwork of the traditional nativity, including the shepherds, wise men, Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.
From The Church News:
The Times Square Nativity display, which lasted 30 minutes, was part of the Light the World initiative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The digital billboards featured stars, the Nativity, the Light the World logo and the logos of many charitable organizations working with the Church on the campaign. The billboard takeover followed the global launch of the 2023 Light the World Giving Machines campaign earlier in the day.
As the Nativity was reflected in Times Square, Nasario Martin, an evangelical Christian from Guatemala, could not believe his eyes. He took out his cellphone and started recording.
“I have never seen Jesus Christ in such a place before,” he said, referencing the power of the prominent message as the Christmas season begins.
As Satanism becomes normalized in popular culture and even in government buildings, it’s heartening to see displays like this make an impact.
