Historical Jesus

June 24 is St. John’s Day, one of the oldest and highest-ranking Christian feasts. It celebrates the miraculous birth of the prophet who prepared the way for Jesus Christ. This annual liturgical feast is also known as The Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist, kept in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglicanism, and Protestant Lutheranism. This special day observes the story of the Jewish high priest Zechariah, his wife Elizabeth, and the birth of their son John the Baptist who proclaimed the coming Messiah. The sole biblical account of the birth of John the Baptist comes from the Gospel of Luke. Only three birthdays are celebrated on the traditional liturgical calendar: Jesus (Christmas), the Virgin Mary (Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary), and John the Baptist. This type of feast is thus a rare observance & is symbolically timed and placed exactly six months before Christmas, aligning with the Gospel of Luke's account of the Annunciation. It is also tied to the summer solstice, reflecting Saint John’s humble words about Christ: "He must increase, but I must decrease."

The Nativity of John the Baptist is a Christian high-ranking liturgical feast day observed annually on 24 June by the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Anglicanism, and Lutheranism. It is one of only two feast days marking a saint's earthly birth (the other being the nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 8 September); all other saint’s days mark their deaths or some other important event. The sole biblical account of the birth of John the Baptist comes from the Gospel of Luke which states that John was born six months before Jesus; thus, the feast of John the Baptist’s birth was fixed in the 4th century A.D. on 24 June, six months before Christmas. In the Roman calendar, 24 June was the date of the summer solstice, and Saint John's Eve is closely associated with Midsummer festivities in Europe. Traditions in France & Quebec, include bonfires (Saint John's fires), feasting, processions, church services, and gathering wild plants. E122.

In 1611, the original printing of the King James Version (KJV) Bible was published by Robert Barker, the King's Printer, as a complete folio Bible. The original printing was made before English spelling was standardized and there were no illustrations at all in the Authorized Version, the main form of decoration being the historiated initial letters provided for books and chapters – together with the decorative title pages to the Bible itself, and to the New Testament.  The Authorized Version's written style is an important part of its influence on English, and its spread throughout North America.

"I Have a Dream" is a public speech that was delivered by American civil rights activist and Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. MLK was a Baptist minister, deeply rooted in the African-American Christian tradition, who became a pivotal leader in the Civil Rights Movement, drawing his powerful oratory and philosophy of nonviolent resistance from his faith and biblical teachings. He co-pastored Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta with his father and was a Protestant Christian, a denomination that grew from the Reformation started by the original Martin Luther, whom King Jr. was named after. Let's pay tribute to Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. on Juneteenth National Independence Day, which annually commemorates on June 19 the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. A descendant of slaves, MLK's legacy is the powerful story.
