{"product_id":"beheading-of-john-the-baptist-framed-canvas-icon","title":"Beheading of John the Baptist Framed Canvas Icon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis icon commemorates the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist, the Forerunner who prepared the way for Christ and who was imprisoned and beheaded at the command of Herod for his fearless witness against the unlawful marriage of the king. John is remembered by the Church as the last and greatest of the prophets, the one who pointed directly to Christ as the Lamb of God even as he himself was cast into prison for daring to speak the truth to power. The icon often shows his head presented upon a platter, a stark and sobering image that the Church has never softened, since it stands as one of the clearest witnesses within the whole of Scripture that fidelity to truth may demand the highest cost a person can pay. This solemn feast is observed with strict fasting throughout the Orthodox world, and the icon makes a meaningful gift for anyone named for the saint, or for a household seeking the courage to stand firm in difficult times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” (Matthew 11:11)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO holy Forerunner and Baptist John, who didst not fear to speak the truth even before a king, intercede for us that we too may hold fast to what is right, whatever the cost may be.
