Product Description

SAINT JOHN THE FORERUNNER, BIRD OF DESERT 9313 St. John offers Christ his head, seen here on a platter, as he supplicates Christ above. He was a fiery and blazing torch of faith and repentance, calling many in Israel to the baptism of repentance before Christ would give the baptism of spirit later. He is an icon of faith, of faithfulness, of repentance, and of love, and by Christ’s own words, “The greatest among those born of woman.”
