“This unveiling will not happen in the City of Detroit on my watch,” said Bishop Corletta Vaughn of the Holy Ghost Cathedral, to the Detroit Free Press. Meanwhile, the Christian community learned about the event, which was open only to ticketed attendees, and staged a protest on Saturday outside the original venue at Bert’s Marketplace.

The statue is a nine-foot tall image of Baphomet, a goat-headed occult idol, with two children gazing up at him in worship. The owner of first venue chosen for the event, Bert Dearing of Bert’s Marketplace, decided to return the group’s $3,000 rental fee he learned who booked the place and what they were planning to unveil. Spokespersons from the activist group known as The Satanic Temple delivered speeches while a pair of bare-chested men held candles on either side of the draped image.Īfter the event, the statue was taken to a secret location where it will be kept until a permanent home can be found for it.
