Led by the Rev. William Cocco, nearly 100 people prayed the rosary as a sign of protest against Rehoboth’s decision not to allow a creche to be placed on city property near the Bandstand.
“We’re here to pray to the Blessed Mother to change the minds and hearts of the city,” said Cocco, prior to the Nov. 21 demonstration. “The reality is, Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.”
Last year, St. Edmond Catholic Church members placed the nativity scene by the Bandstand without permission. Less than 48 hours later, it was removed at the request of the city. A week later, but not before lots of media attention, the nativity scene was installed in the outdoor patio entrance of Grotto Pizza on Rehoboth Avenue.
At the time, the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce offered its front lawn as a home for the nativity scene. It’s done the same this year. During the chamber’s award luncheon Nov. 20, chamber President Carol Everhart said she didn’t know what was going to happen.
