When Light Arrives, The Darkness Panics

🌑✨ “WHEN LIGHT ARRIVES, THE DARKNESS PANICS”

A somber, aching reminder that the Incarnation doesn’t enter a peaceful world — it invades a wounded one.

December 28th is the Feast of the Holy Innocents.
The day we remember that the first to shed blood for Christ were children who never spoke a word.
Herod didn’t slaughter them because they threatened his politics —
he slaughtered them because Christ threatened his kingdom.

The Light arrives, and darkness lashes out in panic.
Matthew doesn’t sugarcoat it.
It’s the raw truth of the Incarnation:
God becomes man, and hell immediately starts swinging.

“A voice was heard in Ramah… Rachel weeping for her children…” — Matthew 2:18

The smallest ones — unnamed, unarmed, unprepared —
become the first martyrs of the New Covenant,
the first to bear witness by their blood
that the King has entered the world.
And yes — the shadow still hunts the innocent.
The names change. The justifications change.
But the cry of the children echoes across ages,
and the King who once fled to Egypt
hears every one of them.
This track sits in that tension:
✨ Christmas joy
🌑 a world still wounded
👑 a Kingdom that advances through weakness
🔥 and a Light that terrifies the darkness
because it cannot stop Him.

🎶 “When Light Arrives, the Darkness Panics”

A somber Christmas lament for a feast the world ignores —
and the Church refuses to forget.
