  Notes	St. John the Baptist, born in the 1st decade BCE in Judaea, Palestine, near Jerusalem, was a Jewish prophet of priestly origin. His life and teachings hold significant importance in both Jewish and Christian traditions. Let’s delve into the details: Role and Significance: Jewish Prophet: John preached about the imminence of God’s Final Judgment. He urged people to repent and prepare themselves for this divine reckoning. Christian Forerunner: In the Christian church, John is revered as the forerunner of Jesus Christ. His ministry paved the way for Jesus’ arrival. Life and Activities: Emergence as a Prophet: After a period of desert solitude, John emerged as a prophet in the region of the lower Jordan River valley. Baptism Ritual: John had a circle of disciples, and Jesus Himself was among those who received John’s rite of baptism. Primary Sources: Our knowledge of John’s life comes from several sources: The Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) The Acts of the Apostles Flavius Josephus’s The Antiquities of the Jews Parentage: John’s mother was St. Elizabeth, who happened to be a cousin of Mary, the mother of Jesus. His father was the priest Zechariah. Feast Day: John the Baptist’s feast day is celebrated on June 24. In summary, St. John the Baptist played a crucial role in preparing the way for Jesus, emphasizing repentance, and pointing toward God’s imminent judgment. His life and teachings continue to inspire believers across generations
