Today we commemorate the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. After reprimanding King Herod Antipas for marrying his brother's wife, Salome, his new wife wanted Saint John dead. Her Daughter, Herodia, danced for King Herod at his birthday and the King loved it so much he granted her anything she wished. She asked for John the Baptist's head on a platter. This was done, and so Saint John was martyred. May the Baptist intercede for us all + #saint #saintjohn #johnthebaptist #johntheforerunner #saintjohnthebaptist #baptist #beheadingofstjohnthebaptist #king #kingherod #herod #herodantipas #herodia #salome #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Machaerus, `Amman, Jordan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch0PSlAvJHi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
