Jared Kromminga: Aim

The entire purpose of “Feast Day” of St. John is a celebration in the form of a feast of John the Baptist. He was a prophet who predicted the coming of the Messiah. Not only the coming of the Messiah, but in the person of Jesus. Whom he also later baptised. Christians have long interpreted the life of John the Baptist as a preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ, and the circumstances of his birth, as recorded in the New Testament, are miraculous. John's pivotal place in the gospel is seen in the emphasis Luke gives to the announcement of his birth and the event itself—both made prominently parallel to the same occurrences in the life of Jesus Nativity of St. John the Baptist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ethan Eagerton: Audience



St John the Baptist is the man who baptized Jesus christ. The Audience of his feast day would be anyone of the Christian or Catholic religion. Or there could have been an audience when he was living. Many people could have gone and heard him speak. These people were most likely followers of christ. He would have had a secondary and and primary audience. The Primary Audience would have been the people he spoke with and taught. The secondary audience would be the people that the primary audience passed the message on to. People in todays world can be the secondary audience because all people today were not alive when he was so the information about him and his feast day is passed down. “ He wrote the fourth Gospel, and three Epistles, and the Book of [|Revelation] is also attributed to him”(Catholic online). The readers of the fourth Gospel and three Epistles and book of Revelation are also his audience.
