Crucifix back on view at Quebec City hospital following removal

QUEBEC — A crucifix is back on view at a Quebec City hospital after being removed following a complaint.

The religious sign has been mounted on the wall between two elevators near the entrance to the Saint-Sacrement Hospital.

The hospital said Wednesday it would bring back the crucifix at the behest of the provincial Health Department.

More than 13,000 people had signed a petition in favour of its return, while the hospital said it received nearly 600 calls from people unhappy with its removal.
