Feast of John Baptist: International St. John’s Feast is a celebration that takes place every June 24th around the world. It honors the birth of St. John the Baptist, a Jewish prophet who is revered in the Christian Church as the forerunner of Jesus Christ. St. John lived in the lower regions of the Jordan River and baptized people after they had confessed their sins. The celebration is a reminder of the importance of humility and repentance, as symbolized by St. John’s austere camel-hair garment. Join the festivities and honor this revered figure in the Christian tradition.
