In the Catholic Church, the feast of the Holy Innocents is Dec 28th,
memorializing the 2 year old boys killed by Herod as he was searching
to kill Jesus a prophecy about whom had frightened him.

On that day and others one sees the holy innocent Christmas tree corpses
on the curb ... More and more Christians ask themselves..

the arboricide from Germany to the UK..or
by the example of the universal nonviolence of
Jesus?
