The '''Nativity of Saint John the Baptist''' is a [[solemnity]] in the [[Roman Rite]] of the [[Catholic Church]] that commemorates the birth of [[John the Baptist]], the forerunner of [[Jesus Christ]], to the elderly Zechariah and Elizabeth, as described in [[Luke 1:57–80]]. Observed on June 24, six months before the [[Nativity of the Lord]], it is one of only three nativities celebrated in the [[liturgical year]]—alongside those of Jesus and Mary—highlighting John's prophetic role in preparing the way for the Messiah. According to the [[General Roman Calendar]], this feast occurs in [[Ordinary Time]] but carries the weight of a solemnity, inviting the faithful to contemplate divine providence and the joy of unexpected fulfillment amid the broader cycle of salvation history. | The '''Nativity of Saint John the Baptist''' is a [[solemnity]] in the [[Roman Rite]] of the [[Catholic Church]] that commemorates the birth of [[John the Baptist]], the forerunner of [[Jesus Christ]], to the elderly Zechariah and Elizabeth, as described in [[Luke 1:57–80]].
