Interesting article. I'm surprised it didn't mention the connection American Catholics make between the Day of the Holy Innocents and abortion.

is named in honor of the young children who were slaughtered by order of King Herod

In Belgium it's (often) referred to as the day of the "stupid" children. Because you'd have to be pretty stupid to be born on the day all the newborns were to be slaughtered.
