Holy Innocents' Day, on December 28th, remembers the sad story of King Herod from the Bible, who ordered baby boys in Bethlehem to be killed, hoping to kill baby Jesus. This day honors those innocent children who died then. In some countries, it is treated like a special day for children or even a bit like April Fool's Day, where people play tricks and jokes on each other. It's a way to remember the past while also celebrating children and their importance in our lives in a playful manner.
