28 December

Commemoration of the Day of the Holy Innocents, also called the Massacre of the Innocents, who were murdered by the soldiers of Herod I the Great (c. 73 BC – 4 AD), King of Judaea (37–4 BC), during a hunt. This is a mass slaughter of tens of thousands of children, which occurs after the Three Wise Men do not return to Herod after their visit to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Mary then timely flees with Joseph and Jesus to Egypt. The Christmas period then, takes place in a very ambivalent context. Matthew writes about this (c. AD 90) in the Gospel (2:16-18).
