諸聖嬰孩殉道慶日,聖公會稱嬰孩被殺日(英語:Day of the Holy Innocents),為紀念《聖經》新約中東方三賢士朝拜耶穌聖嬰後,黑落德王為了除去新生的「猶太人君王」,而下令羅馬軍隊屠殺伯利恆及其周圍境內的兩歲以下嬰兒[1]。教會把這些嬰兒視作殉道者,因為他們是為了耶穌的緣故而遭殺害。[2]
^Robert Eisenman, James The Brother of Jesus, 1997, I.3 "Romans, Herodians and Jewish sects" discusses Mariamne, the last representative of the Maccabean line, by whom Herod had two sons, whom he put to death. "Here Herod really did kill all the Jewish children who sought to replace him, as Matthew 2:17 would have it, but these were rather his own children with Maccabean blood!" (p. 49); see also E. P. Sanders, The Historical Figure of Jesus, 87-88
