The Feast of the Passion (or Beheading) of Saint John the Baptist is commemorated annually on August 29. It marks the martyrdom and death of John the Baptist, unlike his other major feast on June 24, which celebrates his birth. The word "passion" comes from the Latin word passio, which means "suffering" or "enduring." Christians believe John the Baptist's death mirrors Christ's ultimate sacrifice. The Church uses "passion" to elevate John's death above common martyrdom. John the Baptist and Jesus are the only figures whose deaths are considered liturgical "passions."
