[Fox] A legal battle over a nearly century-old cross tradition and longstanding Nativity display in the historic heart of Los Angeles could threaten generations of Mexican-American traditions and leave religious monuments across the country vulnerable, an attorney representing local merchants fighting to preserve the displays told Fox News Digital.
"If the cross and nativity were taken down, it would just be the first step in unraveling the vibrant community cultural celebrations, a lot of which have their roots in Mexican-American Catholic history and really decimating this tight-knit community," Andrea Butler, counsel at Becket and lead attorney for the merchants, told Fox News Digital Thursday in an interview.
A cross has stood at the head of Olvera Street since 1929, when the original was raised to celebrate Los Angeles' 148th birthday, while a life-size Nativity is displayed each December as part of the community's traditional Las Posadas celebration.
