Children had the day for themselves at this church on Thursday; for some prayer and some fun and games and then treats.
Our Lady of Guidance Church in R. A. Puram observed Holy Innocents Day on Thursday, Dec.28, a day in the Catholic calendar held in remembrance of what was a mass killing of babies in Bethlehem ordered by king Herod in his quest to locate baby Jesus and have him killed.
There was a special Mass conducted for the children of the parish at 8 am.
Parish priest Fr Y. F. Bosco said that around 80 children attended this Mass. The children’s choir sang at the Mass. It was followed by carol singing. A common blessing was given to all children and sweets were distributed. Many parents of the children also attended this special service.
