AB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 23 2001 L uleclTWr Ia f No Sundays for Saints Usually celebrated on June 24, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist is observed on June 25 this year, in keep ing with the church custom of moving forward a saint’s day that falls on a Sunday—the Lord’s day is for honoring Him alone. Patron of shepherds and beekeep ers, St. John is associated with Midsummer |||| because he was born six months before fjS| Christ. Bonfires and revelry are customary; sometimes the celebrations extend right into those of Saints Peter and Paul (June i\ 29), when rushes and new-mown hay yjr are brought into church. St. John’s wort was named for St. John the Baptist and was con sidered an emblem of protection. St. Peter, of course, was the gatekeeper of heaven, and another plant, St. Peter’s wort, was said to resemble his keys.
