Woman Sees Something Strange On McDonald’s Window – Immediately Gets Out Her Camera
Posted by B. Christopher Agee December 17, 2015
While the holiday season often reignites complaints among some Americans that there exists a cultural war on Christmas, one Tennessee motorist recently captured an image that shows not all references to Christ’s birth have been erased from public settings.
Amy Basel reportedly passed by the Spring Hill McDonald’s and noticed not only the traditional manger scene adorning the restaurant’s street-facing windows, but an explicitly religious message.
“His name is Jesus,” one window’s message proclaimed.
Another decorative statement encouraged visitors to “rejoice.”
As of this writing, roughly 36,000 Facebook users have shared the image. Among the thousands of comments Basel has received in the two days since posting the status update are numerous kind wishes to the McDonald’s staff responsible for displaying the biblical message.
“Thank you McDonald’s for taking a stand,” one commenter wrote. “You have made my whole year! I am so proud of you for the stand you took was for Christ our Lord.”
Some social media users encouraged other businesses to follow suit, while others recognized local merchants who already embrace the faith-based component of the season.
At least a few critics, however, suggested that the Christians applauding this business would not be so open-minded were its owners of a different faith.
“I’d love to hear all of those ‘freedom of religion’ folks [sic] tunes if this business was owned and decorated by people of Muslim faith,” one user wrote. “Y’all are always so accepting of religion until it’s one that isn’t your own!”
