Remembering the Innocents
Remembering the Innocents
“Innocent babies were killed in place of Christ; by a wicked king the sucklings were slaughtered. Now they follow the spotless Lamb and unceasingly cry ‘Glory to you, Lord.’”
- Benedictus antiphon for the feast of the Holy Innocents, which is today.
My sermon for today’s feast can be read here.
Detail from a stained glass window commemorating the death of infants in the church of St Andrew in Newcastle.
