Saint John
The Roman Catholic Church commemorates St. John the Baptist on two feast days:
June 24 – Nativity of St. John the Baptist
August 29 – Beheading of St. John the Baptist
Christians commonly refer to John as the Precursor or Forerunner of Jesus, since in the gospels, John announces Jesus coming. He is also identified with Elijah, and is described as a relative of Jesus Scripture describes John as endowed with prenatal grace, so the feast day of his birth (June 24) is celebrated more solemnly than that marking his martyrdom (August 29).
Muslims regard John as a prophet, as do Bahá ís and Mandaeans.
John followed the example of previous Hebrew prophets, living austerely, challenging sinful rulers, calling for repentance, and promising God s justice. He also conferred baptism as a purification rite for repentant sinners ("baptism of John"), which the Bible clearly differentiates from baptism as practiced by Christians after Pentecost.
Herod s stepdaughter, to whom the name Salome was later attributed, is said in Matthew 14:8 and Mark 6:25 to have asked him for John s head on a platter, and the presentation of his severed head often appears in art. Another theme of Christian art is his beheading, which is mentioned not only in these two gospels, but also in Luke 9:9. He is also depicted as an ascetic wearing camel hair and with a staff and scroll inscribed "Ecce Agnus Dei" (Latin, "Behold the Lamb of God" — John 1:29) or bearing a book or dish with a lamb on it. In Orthodox icons, he often has angel s wings, since Mark 1:2 applies to him a prophecy about an ???e??? (angelos), a word that can mean a messenger, but also an angel.
