The Life of Saint John the Forerunner
Saint John the Forerunner, also known as John the Baptist, was a pivotal figure in the New Testament.

John's miraculous birth was foretold by the angel Gabriel, who revealed that he would be filled with the Holy Spirit even before his birth and destined to prepare the way for the Lord.
