In the painting Massacre of the Innocents (right), mothers are fleeing from Herod’s soldiers clutching their babies. The hand covering the baby’s mouth, suggests the need for silence, to retain life. The mother’s fear is palpable and it impossible to turn away from the striking image of her face. This image starkly reminds us, another massacre is occurring in Syria today and we cannot remain silent.
