Bonus images (!):

Several fifteenth-century roof bosses in the cathedral church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in Norwich portray aspects of the story of the Holy Innocents. Herewith views of the three that I could find quickly on the Web:
1) Herod with soldiers:

2) The Innocents received into Heaven:

> The Holy Innocents (ca. 5 BCE [if not wholly legendary]). We read about these sacrificial victims for Christ at Matthew 2:16-18. Their feast in Rome seems to be no older than the later fourth century. Its stational church is San Paolo fuori le Mura, which latter is said to hold relics of them. Orthodox and other Byzantine-rite churches celebrate this feast on 29. December. Herewith some medieval images of the Massacre of the Innocents (including some early antecedents of the German soldier of World War I propaganda with a Belgian baby on his bayonet):
