Description

The Glorious Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John was the older cousin of our Lord. He was born miraculously of his aged parents, specially chosen by God to prepare the way for Christ, the Messiah. It was John who identified Jesus as "the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world." After he baptized Christ in the Jordan River, John was arrested by Herod and beheaded at the request of his wicked wife and daughter.

Christ called John "the greatest man ever born," and so his image is very prominent in Orthodox churches. He usually appears beside Christ on the iconostasis, or standing in prayer near Him, opposite the Theotokos. There are several feast days dedicated to Saint John throughout the year.

This 15th century icon was painted by Russian master iconographer Saint Andrei Rublev.

    St. John the Baptist (Rublev) Icon -S168

    Posted by Patricia P. on Jul 16th 2022

    I am very happy with this small but beautiful replica of Andrei Rublev's exquisite icon of St. John the Baptist. I was privileged to see the original in the Tretyakov Museum in Moscow many years ago, so it is a joyful reminder for me of that trip.
