LINK Satanic Temple's holiday display coming back to Illinois Capitol rotunda

According to the organization’s website, Sol Invictus is a “celebration of being unconquered by superstition and consistent in the pursuit of sharing knowledge,” and has its origins in the cult of Sol in pre-Christian Rome.

“This year’s tradition marks a greater urgency in the Baphomet’s message of harmony and reconciliation,” Satanic Temple’s director of campaign operations Erin Helian said in a statement, obtained by the State Journal-Register.

Abe told me it’s okay to use The Old Capitol’s grounds if they’d like. Kind of odd for him because Abe’s been dead for 156 years but he helped me smoke my pot.

And let us not forget that Festivus (for the rest of us) is on December 23! I sure hope organizers plant a Festivus pole on the Capitol grounds at Springfield!
