The Holy Innocents

martyrs · 1st century
A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation.
— Matt 2:18

King Herod, fearing for his throne, had all the boys in Bethlehem killed. These little children died for Christ before they could speak. Today we pray for all children who suffer or could not be born. Every child is precious.
