Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist

The angel said, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God."  (Luke 1:13-16)

The icon is of the Nativity of Holy Forerunner, Prophet and Baptist, John (June 24th).
