<blockquote>When [[Herod the Great|Herod]] realized that he had been outwitted by the [[Magi]], he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in [[Bethlehem]] and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled.</blockquote>
<blockquote>''"A voice is heard in [[Ramah]], weeping and great mourning, [[Rachel]] weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more."'' (Quoted from [[Book of Jeremiah|Jeremiah]] 31:15)</blockquote>
These are all the male children aged 2 and under that were murdered because [[Herod]] sought the life of the Infant [[Jesus]].
