O ALMIGHTY God, who out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast ordained strength, and madest infants to glorify thee by their deaths; Mortify and kill all vices in us, and so strengthen us by thy grace, that by the innocency of our lives, and constancy of our faith even unto death, we may glorify thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
On this Feast of the Holy Innocents, collected 16th Century glass at Erpingham, Norfolk. One of Herod's soldiers kills a child in the foreground while the Holy Family escapes into Egypt beyond. The donkey is a later restoration. pic.twitter.com/lUes4I9Glm
