St. John the Baptist Catholic Church History
The History of St. John the Baptist
Saint John the Baptist, a cousin of Christ, began preaching in the wilderness that people should repent because the kingdom of heaven was at hand. He baptized his followers, including Christ, in the Jordan river. He hailed Christ as the lamb of God in reference to Isaiah's image of the lamb led to slaughter to bear the sins of mankind, and also because of the custom of sacrificing a lamb at Passover.
Feast Day: June 24th.
