@jdmccafferty I had never heard this song before seeing Dr Lucy Worsley's programme about Tudor Christmases, and I listen to it each year now.
It absolutely breaks me - it's as beautiful as it is utterly heartbreaking:
"Lully, Lulla, Lullay"

Holy Innocents’ Day, an engraving by French artist François Brochet (1925–2001) who made his home in Burgundy. A young mother is protecting her child from Herod’s terror, remembering happier times when she first presented her newborn infant to the world. We remember all children who are cruelly used today.
