Roquefixade is a charming mountain village whose name in Occitan means "fractured rock". The name is perfect, as the village is dominated by a steep and picturesque mass of stone.

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptiste), to whom this church in Roquefixade is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold from the Old to the New Testament. His parents are Zacharias and Elisabeth. After the announcement of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elisabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan. Jesus also comes there to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends on him from heaven.
The feast day of Saint John the Baptist (Jean Baptiste) in the saints' calendar is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Holy Eve'.
