Today in the Catholic Church is the Nativity (Birth) of St. John the Baptist, a particularly important feast day in the Latin Mass and Byzantine or Eastern liturgies. Jesus Christ said of John (Matt. 11:11), “Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist.” Coming from God Himself, that is a truly astounding tribute.
Just came from Vespers service (Orthodox Church) and kissed his icon ❤️☦️
