Tradition refers to them as the “holy Innocents” and regards them as martyrs. They died for not only for Christ, but died in His stead. The gospel of Matthew (2:1-18) tells us that .02H1erod was “greatly troubled” when the Magi, came asking the whereabouts of “the newborn king of the Jews,” whose star they had seen. They were told that the Jewish Scriptures named Bethlehem as the place where the Messiah would be born. Herod told them to report back to him so he could also “do Him homage.” They found Jesus, offered Him their gifts, and warned by an angel, avoided Herod on their way home. Jesus escaped to Egypt. Herod in rage and jealousy, slaughtered all the baby boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under.
