Today we celebrate the Synaxis of the Holy Prophet and Forerunner of Our Lord, John the Baptist. Saint John was called the greatest man born of women by Christ and is considered the greatest and last prophet of the Old Testament. He is often depicted with wings because he was the final messenger (in Greek: angelos = messenger) and also because he lived an angelic life in the flesh, winning him the title "the Angel of the Desert". A blessed name day to all who celebrate today. May he intercede for us always + #saint #john #baptist #forerunner #christ #jesus #johnthebaptist #messenger #angel #prophet #oldtestament #bible #God #synaxis #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Amman, Jordan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFrEy9Bl7Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A synaxis is a liturgical or aliturgical gathering and assembly for the commemoration of saints. The clergy would often gather for the celebration of Matins, Vespers, Little Hours, and Divine Liturgy. In practice, these are fixed feasts celebrated on the same calendar date year after year. In the featured picture, you see the icon of the Synaxis of the Twelve Apostles, which is considered one of the most popular types of synaxis in Christianity. The holy icon was created in the 14th century and is now held in the permanent collection of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Russia.
