St. John Baptist
John the Baptist represents one of the most relevant characters mentioned in the four Gospels, he is revered in all Christian churches as a saint.
His life and his preaching are permanently involved with the work of Jesus.
John the Baptist, among other things, is the only Saint, besides the Madonna, whose birth according to the flesh is also celebrated with the birth in heaven.
He is considered the greatest of the prophets, as he had the task of pointing out the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Starting from the womb, his prophetic vocation is enriched by exceptional events, full of messianic joy, which create an atmosphere of exciting preparation for the birth of Jesus.
Through his words and with his life John represents the true precursor of Christ.
The penitential baptism that brings with it the announcement of the last times constitutes the Baptism according to the Spirit.
The date of the celebration, set three months after the announcement and six before December 25, Christmas day, responds to the directives given by San Luca.
