  Massacre of the Innocents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Massacre of the Innocents is not mentioned in the other gospels nor in the early apocrypha.
The earliest pagan reference to the Massacre of the Innocents is by Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius, a pagan philosopher of the 4th century.
Another, his hectic Massacre of the Innocents is one of the most valuable paintings in the world, after being purchased by Kenneth Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet for £49.5 million GBP (then equal to some $76.7 million USD) at a 2002 Sotheby's auction [6] (see List of most expensive paintings).

 frontline: burden of innocence: the innocents - photographer's foreword | PBS
The following is the foreword from The Innocents, a forthcoming book of photographs and interviews by Taryn Simon documenting the stories of individuals who served time in prison for violent crimes they did not commit, with a commentary by Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck of The Innocence Project.
Nowhere are the material effects of ignoring a photograph's context as profound as in the misidentification that leads to the imprisonment or execution of an innocent person.
I photographed each innocent person at a site that came to assume particular significance following his wrongful conviction: the scene of misidentification, the scene of arrest, the alibi location, or the scene of the crime.

 Compass Vol. 13 #6, Fahey Article
By the fourth century the Holy Innocents, as they were called by the Roman church, were regarded as martyrs, their feast being celebrated in the Latin tradition on December 28.
The fifth-century writer Macrobius related that when news of the murders reached Rome, Caesar Augustus, mistakenly believing that Herod's son Antipater (executed at about the same time) was among the victims, remarked, in a snide reference to Jewish dietary laws, "It is better to be Herod's hog than his son." Other tales concerned Herod.
Historically, the reasons for the Innocents' appeal to the Christian imagination are complex.

 INNOCENTS, MASSACRE OF THE in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
The ecclesiastical treatment of the incident is remarkable because of the exaggeration which was indulged in as to the extent of the massacre and the number of victims.

 Just War Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
In waging war it is considered unfair and unjust to attack indiscriminately since non-combatants or innocents are deemed to stand outside the field of war proper.
Similarly, those who join an army renounce their rights not to be targeted in war; the rights of non-combatants (civilians, or 'innocents') remain intact and therefore they cannot be justly attacked.
Other areas of interest are: hostages, innocent threats, international blockades, sieges, the use of weapons of mass destruction or of anti-personnel weapons (e.g., land mines), and interventionism.

 Innocents Betrayed
Innocents Betrayed deals with the murderous result of gun laws in California that prohibited a family of youngsters trained in gun use from defending themselves against a madman, who pitch-forked to death several children in their family because all the guns were “safely locked up” according to law.)
What I find significant about this is that the more that the anti-gun people of the lie try to disarm free citizens, the more obvious it becomes that their true goal is to turn free people into government chattel.
Samuel Colt referred to his excellent invention as “the equalizer,” and many armed women owe their lives and safety to having a gun and not being afraid to display or shoot it.

During this octave of Christmas the Church celebrates the memory of the small children of the neighborhood of Bethlehem put to death by Herod.
Sacrificed by a wicked monarch, these innocent lives bear witness to Christ who was persecuted from the time of His birth by a world which would not receive Him.
These then, whom Herod's cruelty tore as sucklings from their mothers' bosom, are justly hailed as "infant martyr flowers"; they were the Church's first blossoms, matured by the frost of persecution during the cold winter of unbelief.
