Rachel weeps. God does not leave.
This is not comfort. This is presence.

December 28th is the feast of Holy Innocents. What can the slaughter of the innocents and the flight to Egypt tell us about the meaning of Christmas and the incarnation? #christmas #holyinnocents #jesus #incarnation #hope

The Presbyterian Church (USA) #PCUSA doesn’t observe official saint days, for the most part, but traditionally this is the day to remember the biblical #HolyInnocents killed in the political violence of Herod—who feels threatened by the might one child has over him

… Chaplain. Great singing from the men, specially “It came upon the m’nite clear”, & 2 confident readers who presented the psalm and the gospel beautifully. A couple of the men prayed for me, when I explained I was recently bereaved of an old friend. #blessing #CofE ✝️ #PrisonMinistry #HolyInnocents

The Feast of #HolyInnocents was Dec 28 when Herod, jealous that Jesus would remove him from his throne, ordered the massacre of all boys under age two in order to kill the messiah.
Thus the holy family from today’s Palestine became one with all future migrants fleeing from adversity and injustice.
