Day 4 - the Feast of the Holy Innocents

Today is a special feast day Tallulah, do you know what we remember today?

No I don't Cloë.

Well Herod was in charge of Israel when Jesus was born. He was very scared when he heard that a king was to be born. He was scared because he thought this king was going to take away his power. Herod was not a nice guy, so he decided to have all the little baby boys killed so that this king could never take over.


Was Jesus the king he was worried about, Cloë?

Yup. To stay safe, the Angel Gabriel told Joseph in a dream to take Mary and Jesus and escape to Egypt.


On this day every year we remember all those baby boys.
