Opening and Closing Hymns both present images of Holy Mother and Child for the feast. Unto us is born a Son also makes reference to Herod who slew the little childer — verses which are omitted from the Gospel for this Sunday. This episode was also the inspiration for the Coventry Carol. Piae Cantiones was the source for the melody of Unto us and also for Good King Wenceslaus sung to mark the feast of Stephen.
