 Herod s terrible vengeance is here shown. This particular scene shows a large number of people who had gathered together, outside of Bethlehem, hoping to flee from the wrath of the wicked king. In the foreground are seen mothers with their babes as the soldiers enter with drawn swords. One poor woman whose infant is slaughtered before her face stands bewildered. As the cruel soldiers advance they are seen hurriedly trying to escape from the spot.
