How your ancestors celebrated the feast of St Stephen on the 26th December.
The Family history research team has recently encountered a few entries recently, whilst investigating the family tree of the Woodcock family in the parish registers of St George in the East, for baptisms occurring on "St Stephens Day", "Innocents Day" and "St John the Apostle Day". These were auspicious days in the calendar of Saints and clearly worthy of addition to the record of the baptism of a child.
