Do you want the government of Israel or the relevant authority to stoop so low 
as to follow Herod's lead?

(Let's just remember that, prior to renovating the BhM, Herod killed as many 
of the 'hakhmei Yisroel as he could get his hands on. It is doubtful that he 
did teshuvah - his renovation project was more likely to placate his subjects 
and to guarantee that he is remembered not only for his crimes. KNLAD.)
