In Bethlehem, right next to the Church of the Nativity, is the cave of the Holy Innocents.

It is believed that St. Jerome lived there while he translated the Bible into Latin so that contemporary people could read it.

I was there in 1984, and will never forget it.

Good evening, ML!

A Blessed Lord's Day to you!

As you know, the sacrifice of the Holy Innocents resonates deeply with me. Did not know that about St. Jerome.
