Head of John the Baptist

Fine.  Then you cook next time!

Saint John the Baptist was the older cousin of Jesus. He announced the coming of our Lord and baptized Him. The ministry of John the Baptist came to an end during the Life of Christ when imprisoned by Herod the Tetrarch for proclaiming Herod and his brother's wife Herodias had an unlawful relationship. Herod, enthralled by a dance performed by Herodias' daughter, Solame, promised to give her anything she asked. Salome consulted her mother who requested Salome ask for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Herod had John beheaded and delivered the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
