Zombie nativity scene draws ire and donations in Ohio

Summery

An Ohio couple defied orders to remove a zombie-themed nativity scene from their front garden.

The local assembly have said the display violates zoning laws, and local religious groups have denounced it. this couple could face a fine of $500 per day.

The couple is seeking donations to keep the display alive on a Facebook page. They said about this structure that “a wonderful piece of artwork”.

Opinion

I’m an agnostic. So I can’t know how much the Christians felt annoyed with the structure. But I imagine that it likes what I feel if I sow that my ancestor’s portrait are drew in the image of zombies. Because Japanese people enshrine their ancestors.

I guess this statue can be interpreted as the celebration both to Jesus Christ’s birth and the Resurrection. Zombie may means the resurrection. According to my mother who had attended Christian school for 6 years, the resurrection is put greater emphasis than the nativity, because the resurrection means that Christ who was born as a human entered the field of God, and promise of the eternal life. If my conjecture ware right, the couple’s structure have religious meaning and it may raise a question about the the commercialization of religious festival.
