This question has probably been asked before, so bear with me and feel free to comment.
Epiphany, Jan. 6, is when we celebrate the arrival of the wise men and their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Being warned in a dream, they escaped for home by another route. Herod was so enraged he ordered the killing of all the children in and around Bethlehem who were 2 and under.
So why is Holy Innocents commemorated on 12/28 and not after Epiphany?
