I found it particularly touching. My daughter Bridget, born on Christmas day, when she was four or five, rearranged our manger so that all the figures were tightly huddled around baby Jesus. When asked she said that they were hiding him from the wicked king. Twenty years later, preaching on the feast of the Holy Innocents, I recalled this and also spoke of your mention of the legend of the dancing midwife. Blessings. Carolyn Thanks so much for this.
