FEAST OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS
The massacre of the innocents on the orders of Herod is one of those Biblical scenes that inspired the best painters. The sampling shown here are, from left, by Giotto, Ghirlandaio, and Rubens. In Hispanic countries, the Dia del Ninos Inocentes is the precursor of the American April Fools' Day, when everyone is expected to pull a joke on unsuspecting 'innocents'.
No OR today.
No scheduled events for the Holy Father.
And since I failed to post anything on Sunday, let me not overlook that yesterday was a sort of big double feast for the Church - by placement, being the Sunday after Christmas, it was the Feast of the Holy Family, and by date, Dec. 27, it was also the Feast of St. John the Evangelist.

FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY
FEAST OF ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST
Many historians and Biblical scholars will continue to insist that John the Beloved Disciple was not John the Evangelist, but in the popular mind and in Christian tradition, he is one and the same. Depictions of John through the ages alternate between showing him as a young man, as Guido Reni, Pedro Berruguete, an unknown contemporary painter, and El Greco do in the panel above; or as venerable sage, as in the Giotto (extreme left) and traditional image (extreme right).
Apparently, there was no OR on Sunday, because all the events starting from Christmas Eve are reported in tomorrow's double issue for 12/28/-12/29.
THE POPE'S SUNDAY
Holiday Angelus on the Holy Family - with a special message to the annual 'Family Day' mammoth rally
by the Catholics of Madrid.
Lunch at the Trastevere soup kitchen of the Sant'Egidio Community.
