Product Description

NATIVITY OF SAINT JOHN THE FORERUNNER 9209 Archangel Gabriel told Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth, who was barren for the many years, would conceive and bear a son, and that he should name him John. St. Zacharias was doubtful in his heart about this message, so he was struck dumb until the words of the Archangel would materialise, and his tongue was loosed eight days after St. John was born. In this icon, Zacharias is sitting in the lower right hand corner writing out the child’s name while the infant, St. John is lying in a crib below St. Elizabeth’s feet.
