It is the second day of Christmas.
And we've moved from the peaceful joy of the stable to the stoning of Stephen....from the birth of the Prince of Peace to the first example of Christian martyrdom.
Today is St. Stephen's day...December 26th is the day we remember this martyrdom around the world. (Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen).
It helps us to escape from the safe pageantry of Christmas and remember that this all has life and death consequences. The King of Kings asks for our allegiance, and that is not always the easy thing to do.
