The Feast day of St. John the Baptist

The Feast day of St. John the Baptist is different because as most saint's days are commerated on the day of their death, St. John the Baptist feast day is actually his birthday. The Holy Mother the Virgin Mary is the only other Saint commerated in this way.


Liturgical prayer said on the feast of St. John -

O God who hast made this an honored day for us by the birth of saint john the baptist : bestow upon Thy people the grace of spiritual joys, and guide the hearts of all Thy faithful into the way of eternal salvation.
