After having Solemnised on 24 June the joyous birth of Saint John the Baptist, The Church, today, honours his glorious birth in Heaven. Excepting The Blessed Virgin, he is the only Saint whose temporal birthday is observed. Saint John the Baptist holds in the worship of The Church The First Rank after The Angels.

John the Precursor, who had passed thirty years in the desert, where he had flourished like the Palm Tree, and grown like The Cedar of Libanus (Gradual), had the courage openly to reproach Herod with the scandal of his illegitimate union with Herodias, his sister-in-law, whose husband, Philip, was still alive (Introit, Epistle, Gospel).


"It is against the law," he said to the King, "for you to take the wife of your brother." Herodias forced Herod to imprison him and used an unexpected opportunity to obtain through her daughter, Salome, the beheading of the Saint who thwarted her criminal passion.

On this day, Saint John completes his mission, adding to the testimony he gave to Christ at His Baptism, the testimony of his Martyrdom. He was put to death towards the Passover, one year before The Passion of Jesus; but the Anniversary is Solemnised on the day when his Venerable head was found at Emesa, in Syria, in 453 A.D.

It is related in ancient legends that, on a Winter's day, when Salome was dancing on a frozen river, the ice broke and, closing again, cut off the head of the immodest dancer.

Mass: Loquébar.
Commemoration: Saint Sabina. Martyr.
