The Dissection of the Sacred Head of Saint John the Forerunner August 29

Herod, not tolerating Prodromos' controls, imprisoned him.

However, at a certain birthday celebration, Herod promised with an oath to give the daughter of Herodias whatever she asked for, because he liked her dancing very much.

Then the bloodthirsty Herodias told her daughter to ask for John's head on a plate. Which finally happened.

Thus, the glorious Precursor of the Savior will remain throughout the ages an example to all who want to serve the truth and fight against corruption, regardless of dangers and sacrifices.

And this is what the 24 elders of the Apocalypse say to God about them corrupt:

"it has come... the time of the nations has come... and it corrupts them by corrupting the earth".

That is, the time of the resurrection of the dead has come to judge the world and destroy (my God) those who with their corrupt life corrupt and destroy the earth.

"No, they have you, your brother's wife."

You are not allowed by God's law to have your brother's wife, whoever is still alive.

Words of the Holy Forerunner, which were stabs at the corrupt consciences of King Herod Antipas and Herodias' illegitimate wife, who was the wife of his brother Philip.

Introit

Memory of the righteous with judges; but the testimony of the Lord Prodrome is sufficient for you; indeed, you were shown to be more respected than the Prophets, for even in the tombs you baptize the one who is preached; whence you have prevailed in the truth, I preach joy also to those in heaven, God manifested in the flesh i, the airman the sin of the world, and granting us great mercy.
