Also known as Innocents' Day or Childermas, this day commemorates the massacre of all the male children two years and under in Bethlehem as ordered by King Herod, who hoped that the infant Jesus would be among them. This day has long been regarded as unlucky—particularly for getting married or undertaking any important task. But over the years in some countries it has become a day when children play pranks on their elders. In Mexico, Childermas is the equivalent of April Fools' Day.
