Reflections – St. John the Baptist.

Posted on by

This Sunday’s “Reflections” is dedicated to St. John The Baptist, the Forerunner, whose Nativity or Birth is celebrated on Saturday the 24th. This is a high ranking liturgical feast observed by most Christian churches. The Gospel of Luke tells of how John’s birth was foretold by the Angel Gabriel to Zachariah the priest, whose wife Elizabeth, cousin of Mary, was deemed too old to bear children, and was born 6 months before Jesus. This feast day closely coincides with the Summer Solstice or Midsummer, and is celebrated in many countries on the night before as St John’s Eve.
