Saint John the Baptiste Day is a holiday celebrated on June 24 in Israel and is also specially popular with French Canadians across Canada and the United States. The birth of St. John the Baptist in Ein Kerem as mentioned in the the New Testament, St. John is the son of the priest Zacharias and the barren Elizabeth, who conceived after a divine promise that she and her husband would have a son (Luke 1:57-80).
