The Mosman Council has banned a Christmas nativity scene from being placed in the foyer of its chambers.

The Mosman Collective also reports that the traditional “Blessing of the Crib” performed by local children, will not be held at the Seniors Centre this year.

Former Mayor Dom Lopez donated the Nativity Scene in 2008 to be used yearly.

Anthony Lopez, son of the former mayor, told Ben Fordham his dad would be “disgusted” with the ban.

“It’s just part of Christmas, a tradition that’s been going on for years.”
