Holy Innocents’ Day (First Sunday after Christmas)
Not martyrs in the true sense of witnesses for Christ, the innocent victims of the massacre in Bethlehem remind us of the many who suffer in the world for reasons that they and others will never understand. Even there Christ was in the midst of them and in some sense they died for him, so we honour them by remembering their sacrifice.
Epistle ~ 1 Corinthians 1.26-29
Gospel ~ St Matthew 2.13--18
