In the St. Illinois in the United States every year there is a Christmas exhibition. The current exhibition is shocking. Satanists were allowed to display their decorations.
Satanists and their decoration
This year's Illinois Christmas Display shows something very different among the typical decorations that belong to Christians, Jews and other religious communities. It is a satanic decoration. The carbon black sculpture is a candlestick. It is shaped like a woman's hand holding an apple and a snake wraps around it. The sculpture is called: "Knowledge is the greatest gift."

November announcement
A group of Satanists announced their participation in this year's Christmas exhibition in November. "We are giving city officials the message that religious freedom means that all religions should be able to represent themselves in a festive exhibition." These words are the caption of the photo that was inserted on the group's Instagram profile. The photo shows the prototype of the sculpture they exhibited.
Group support
The group of satanists would not have realized their project if it had not been for the help of others. Under the above-mentioned by fasting, they asked for financial support in creating the sculpture. “We are collecting for the design and construction of our satanic sculpture. You can help us deliver the devil to Springfield. " The Satanists received aid of $ 1700, which is just under 15 Norwegian kroner. Thanks to this, they achieved their intended goal.
Freedom of speech
Many people taking part in the exhibition are outraged by the decision made by its organizers. Religious groups and conservatives believe that this is a kind of mockery directed at them. Dave Druker, a spokesman for the state authorities, said the decision was consulted with lawyers. However, they did not give them a choice because due to the Constitution, which gives people the right to express their feelings and thoughts, Satanists could not be forbidden from participating in the exhibition.
