________________________________
San Juan was the cousin of Jesus and his spiritual precursor. When Jesus began his mission Juan baptized him in the River Jordan. Juan was the first to recognize Jesus as the Messiah and declared him to be the Lamb of God. In sacred art Juan is shown dressed in animal skins standing at the banks of the Jordan River. Sometimes he carries a twig staff or a lamb and points heavenward.
In New Mexico the 16th century Spanish colonizer Juan de Onate named a native pueblo San Juan de los Caballeros in honor of the saint. It is believed all waters become pure on his feast day, June 24. San Juan is the patron of sheep, shepherds, hermits, and the purity of all water.
His feast day is June 24.
