A six-panel collage of white winter and early-spring flowers. It shows a hellebore (Christmas rose), snowdrops, a white camellia, delicate blossom on a twig, a cluster of pale crocuses, and nodding snowflake blooms, all photographed against gentle green backgrounds.
28 Dec: #Childermas, or the Feast of the Holy Innocents, is a day when we remember vulnerable children and those in need of protection. On this day, these white flowers shine like beacons of comfort, peace and kindness — for every child and for all who suffer. #FolkloreSunday

A person watching anxiously through a hole in a wall that is letting a little light in. The text reads: “A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loudly lamenting: it was Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they were no more.”

#Childermas is also inspiration for the great medieval carol, ‘The Coventry Carol’, which captures the darkness & fear that coexist with the seasonal light & benediction of #Christmas. There is a beautiful discussion of it here

A refugee child in a war zone looks out to the viewer, another child looks away. Their faces are scarred and dirty. They are too frightened to cry.
Just a reminder that the targeting of children in a conflict is always wrong, and always a hallmark of genocide.

Cogniet focuses our attention on one petrified woman, a mother who knows she is about to lose her child. She envelopes her doomed child, her bare feet revealing how vulnerable they are. There’s no way to run. She is cornered. Wisely, Cogniet doesn’t show us the carnage. It is hinted at in the rushing figures in the background. Another mother is seen carrying her own children down the stairs to the left, running for their lives. But Cogniet shows a level of artistic restraint not seen in many depictions of this story. He forces everything to the background in order to draw our attention to the woman’s terrified face.
Artwork of the Day (28 December, #HolyInnocents): Massacre des Innocents, Leon Cogniet, 1824
While there's no historic record of Herod's massacre of the Innocents, it was often the case that children's lives were considered of little importance, and they were often targeted by tyrants

Also, today is #Childermas or #diadelosinocentes in memory of the children King Herod killed in search of Jesus.
