AnswerA number of these occurred, but possibly the most notable was the massacre of the young children in Bethlehem by Herod, in an attempt to assasinate the child Jesus.
A:More usually known as the Massacre of the Innocents, the massacre of the children is in Matthew's Gospel. When King Herod heard that a new king of the Jews was born in Bethlehem, he ordered all the boys under two years old to be slaughtered. The author of Matthew was drawing a parallel between Jesus and Moses in the Old Testament. The gospel's massacre of the children was based on the Old Testament story of the pharaoh killing all the first born sons of the Israelites in Egypt but is set in a different context and concerns Jesus, not Moses and the Hebrews.

AnswerIf there really was a "slaughter of the innocents", it would have taken place after the birth of Jesus, not before. But the problem is that we do not know which day or month (or even year) that Jesus was born. December 25th was traditionally the birthday of Mithras and other sun gods, but was assigned as the nominal birthday of Jesus in the fourth century.Moreover, there is no evidence outside Matthew's Gospel that there even was a slaughter of the innocents. Even the author of Luke's Gospel was clearly unaware of this event, since he wrote that the family went straight away to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth. Some biblical scholars suggest that the "slaughter of the innocents" story was designed to draw a parallel between Jesus and the ancient Hebrew patriarchs in Egypt, but was not really historical.
The Holy Innocents are the children who were killed by King Herod in his attempt to kill the baby Jesus. They are regarded as martyrs by the Christian church for their innocence and are commemorated in the Feast of the Holy Innocents on December 28th.
