Saint John the Baptist
Saint John the Baptist, the prophet who baptised Jesus in the Jordan, is remembered on several dates. The main feast is the Nativity of John the Baptist on 24 June, six months before Christmas, because the Gospel of Luke says Elizabeth was six months pregnant when the angel spoke to Mary. In the Orthodox Church the Synaxis, or gathering, of John the Forerunner on 7 January honours the man who baptised Jesus on the previous day, Theophany. The Orthodox also keep the Nativity on 24 June, and the Beheading of John on 29 August.
In Romania, 7 January is Sfântul Ion, a public holiday and a major name day, since Ion, Ioan, Ioana and related names are among the commonest in the country. The 24 June feast is a holiday in Catalonia, where the eve, the Revetlla de Sant Joan, brings bonfires, fireworks and coca, a sweet flatbread, and in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, where it coincides with Midsummer. The June date is linked to Midsummer customs elsewhere, though in Finland and Sweden Midsummer is kept on a weekend day between 19 and 26 June.
