A controversial infant Jesus is stolen from a Belgian Nativity scene
The faceless infant Jesus figure was stolen amid protests over the inclusive design; authorities replaced it and seek witnesses to clarify the unclear motive.
- Artist Victoria-Maria Geyer's nativity scene depicting an infant Jesus made of cloth without identifying features was stolen from a Brussels Christmas market, prompting criticism from a Belgian politician.
- The artist aimed for the fabric sculpture to allow people of any background to identify with the Nativity story, but a party leader called it 'zombie-like' and unrepresentative of Christmas.
- While initial reports of the Christ child being beheaded were false, organizers have replaced the figure and will increase security, as baby Jesus figurines have been previously damaged or stolen.
