Birth of the Holy Prophet & Forerunner John The Baptist (June 24)

Birth of the Holy Prophet & Forerunner John The Baptist 


Today we commemorate THE NATIVITY OF THE HOLY PROPHET, FORERUNNER, AND BAPTIST JOHN who while still in the womb of his mother, was filled with the Holy Spirit. He exulted in joy at the coming of the salvation of humanity. His own birth foretold the Lord Christ. Such great grace shone forth in him, that the Lord himself said concerning him that no one born of woman was greater than John the Baptist.
