PLANTATION -- The manger scene at the Broward Mall cost him $1,000, but for Len Torres, the symbolism is worth much more.

This year he got his Christmas wish when he was able to purchase and erect the holiday scene. The multi-piece scene of the baby Jesus surrounded by biblical characters and animals was set up a week ago on Sunday night just outside the Sears entrance.

Good stuff, Mr. Torres.

God's blessings to Len Torres for his courage and dedication, but most of all for his faith.

God bless Mr Torres.

Well done.

Sanity prevails in the People's Republic of Broward.

I was at the Town Center mall in Boca Raton around Thanksgiving. They put the creche/nativity in an obscure place between a hair salon and Godiva chocolate shop.
