Massacre of the Innocents Handmade wood icon on plaque Greek Orthodox Russian Mount Athos Byzantine Christian Catholic Icon on Wood
In the New Testament, the Massacre of the Innocents is the incident in the nativity narrative of the Gospel of Matthew in which Herod the Great, king of Judea, orders the execution of all male children two years old and under in the vicinity of Bethlehem. Most modern biographers of Herod, and probably a majority of biblical scholars, dismiss Matthew’s story as an invention. The Church has claimed the children murdered in Jesus’s stead as the first Christian martyrs, and their feast – Holy Innocents Day – is celebrated on 28 December.
