When does this idea start circulating? Meg ________________________________ From: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture on behalf of Ann Ball Sent: ūri. 28.9.2004 09:06 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [M-R] St John's Eve medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture It was believed that John the Baptist was born without original sin and "accordingly, the Church celebrates his naturl birth by a festival of his `nativity' assigned exaqctly dix months before the natvity of Christ... As soon as the fast of Christas was established on December 25 (in the 5th century) the dat of the Baptist's birth was assigned to June 24" Francis X. Weiser, in his Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs has about two pages on this with quite a bibliography which might give you more leads. This book is long out of print, but it is a short section and if you will send me your fax off list I will be happy to xerox and fax them to you. He may also have extended his remarks in his book of saints.
