Saint John the Baptist is considered the pivotal figure of the Bible, between the Old and New Testaments: the last of the Prophets, he is the precursor of Christ, the messenger who announces Him... His mother - Elizabeth, is related to Mary and both women meet while they are both expecting their son. We can only refer to the Gospel of Luke (1, 39-45) which powerfully depicts this touching scene, and which the Church has celebrated every year since the 13th century under the name of Visitation (May 31). Jean, as an adult, will lead the harsh life of an ascetic in the desert. He preaches, teaches prayer and proposes a baptism of conversion, while announcing the coming of “one more powerful than he… who will no longer baptize only in water, but in the Holy Spirit…” He himself will baptize Jesus.
