Infant Jesus figure beheaded in Brussels' nativity display

Brussels officials are investigating after the infant Jesus figure in the city’s newly installed nativity scene was found beheaded overnight, according to a report circulated by Radio Genoa early Monday.

Police have not released details on possible suspects, and the city has not yet confirmed when the damage occurred. The incident took place at the Grand-Place, where the redesigned display—made of recycled fabric and featuring faceless, patchwork figures—was unveiled last week as part of the city’s Christmas program, reports the European Conservative.

The nativity, titled Fabrics of the Nativity, was meant to introduce what organizers called an “inclusive mix of skin tones.” The redesign replaced the traditional carved figures of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus with life-sized cloth dolls. The move prompted immediate pushback from residents who said the display removed the religious identity of the scene and replaced it with a political message.

A few hours ago, someone entered the nativity scene and beheaded Jesus in the crib. They wanted inclusiveness, and they got it. Retarded. https://t.co/y3uvEgupRU— RadioGenoa (@RadioGenoa) November 30, 2025

City officials have said the former nativity set was too damaged to reuse. Mayor Philippe Close had previously stated that Brussels would retain its nativity tradition but acknowledged the sensitivities surrounding the redesign. Approval for the project came from St. Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral.

The installation was created by artist Victoria-Maria and produced by Atelier By Souveraine after the city issued a call for proposals. Workers installed the figures under a transparent greenhouse-style canopy on November 26. The city has said the structure is intended to remain in use for five years.

Beheading…hmmm, what a puzzler. I’ll bet at least one of the perps names starts with “Mo” and ends with “hammed”.

(Infant Jesus figure beheaded in Brussels’ nativity display)

Not to worry.

The Real Jesus Christ is sitting at the right hand
of Almighty God and awaiting His Father’s command
to Return to the Earth at the Battle of Armageddon.

The Godless Goats 🐐🐐🐐 won’t stop that
Day of the Lord from Coming.

Next Ramadan everyone should xerox lots of copies of Muhammad with his head cut off and leave them around their local halal restaurants and mosque.

Along with a bag of pork rinds or strips of (cheap) bacon.

I wouldn’t waste GOOD bacon for that.

There’s cameras everywhere. And for some reason they have a lot of guesswork and could bes about who done it.

So, pixelated and miscegenated? I could imagine how some faithful Christians might find an overly modernistic display like that disconcerting.

Cameras everywhere in the EU. Except here though? Very convenient.

I’m beginning to see why the Chinese government keeps a very tight leash on their Muslim communities. They don’t want to end up like the West.

Philippians 2:10-11
21st Century King James Version

10 that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in Heaven and things on Earth
and things under the Earth,

11 and that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
