St. John the Baptist is the Patron Saint of Christian Baptism. His Feast Day is celebrated on June 24. Liturgically, the date falls six months before Christmas and three months after the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25. The Annunciation celebrates the Angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus, and that her was her cousin, Elizabeth, was also six months pregnant. The child that Elizabeth would give birth to was John the Baptist.

John the Baptist prepared the way for the coming of Jesus Christ. He was also the one who baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.

The "Hail Mary" is taken from Luke 1:39-45 where Mary goes to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. Upon Mary's arrival and Elizabeth's greeting, the child in Elizabeth's womb--John the Baptist--leapt for joy, and Elizabeth became filled with the Holy Spirit.
