Feast of the Holy Innocents: The Old Herod and the New -- Boycott Nestle!

Herod "the Great," so called because of all his ambitious building projects, was a mass murderer. He killed his own family members, many of the Jewish rabbis and, of course, the Holy Innocents we commemorate today. Herod would do anything to protect his reign as King of Judea. So when he heard from the magi that the "king of the Jews" was born, he immediately planned the murder of the baby. Imagine his rage when he realized the magi had disobeyed him and left without making their report about the child's whereabouts. And so he gave his murderous order. Kill all the babies under two years old.

But one thing Herod did NOT do: he never ordered the babies to be brought back and served at the royal table.
