Ohio township wants to kill off ‘Zombie Nativity’ scene; cites zoning violations

CINCINNATI – A suburban Cincinnati township wants a man to kill off his “Zombie Nativity” scene.

Sycamore Township has sent Jasen Dixon two notices of zoning violations. Officials have told news outlets that they received complaints, and they concluded the structure violates rules on size and placement of yard structures. Dixon was also told to remove debris. Dixon faces legal action if he doesn’t comply by Friday.

Dixon manages a haunted house attraction and decided to create a zombie nativity. It has a small creature with all-white eyes sitting up in the manger where the baby Jesus would be in traditional Christmas nativities.

There’s a Facebook page for the scene and Dixon says he considers it a holiday decoration.

A message for comment was left Tuesday for the northeast Cincinnati township’s administrator.
