Today in the Catholic Church we commemorate the nativity, or birth, of St. John the Baptist, the last prophet of the Old Law and the Forerunner of Jesus Christ. Of John, His cousin, Jesus said (Lk.7:28), “Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist.”
St John Baptist, had original sin removed by the Holy Spirit during Mary’s visitation with his mother Elizabeth, when he leapt for joy as he got close to Jesus
The Birth of Jesus days of light become longer. The Birth of St John the Baptist, the days og light become shorter.
