Feast of the Beheading of St. John the Forerunner

Feast of the Beheading of St. John the Forerunner

John was an authentic prophet who bore witness to the truth without compromise or dereliction. He denounced those who transgressed God’s commandments, even when it was the powerful and mighty who did so. Thus, when he accused Herod and Herodias of adultery, he paid with his life, sealing with martyrdom his fate, and glorifying God in the process.
