Bethlehem

A woman is desperately looking down, shattered by her sadness. The so called „Massacre of the Innocents“ in Bethlehem has just took place after Herold the great ordered the execution of all male children two years old and under in the vicinity of Bethlehem. He wanted to make sure that the promised new king of the Jew, Jesus Christ, gets killed in this massacre to save his own reign.  As the story continues we know that Jesus and his parents are able to escape – but not the many innocent victims.
