St. John the Baptist is a famous Bible character who is also the patron saintof many different subjects, including builders, tailors, printers, baptism, conversion to faith, people dealing with storms and their effects (like hail), and people who need healing from spasms or seizures. John also serves as the patron saint of a variety of places throughout the world, such as Puerto Rico; Jordan, Quebec, Canada; Charleston, South Carolina (USA); Cornwall, England; and various cities in Italy. Here's a biography of John's life and a look at some miracles believers say God performed through John.
John lived during the 1st century in the ancient Roman Empire (in the part that is now Israel). Archangel Gabriel announced his upcoming birth to John's parents, Zechariah (a high priest) and Elizabeth (a cousin of the Virgin Mary). Gabriel said of John's God-given mission: "He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. ... he will go on before the Lord ... to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Saints are spiritual beings who have been tasked with maintaining this Earth, watching over the affairs of humanity and each has dominion over a portion of nature. Each Saint is identified with natural forces as well as with human interests or endeavors. These Saints are mediators between humanity and the Supreme Being.
Pray to Saints because they are already in heaven, and they can intercede for you. In moments of anxiety, you need to hope and believe in something that helps you recover faith and maintain peace in your life.
Statues are prayed to for seeking love, health, fortune, protection, and to lend their energy while casting spells or during rituals. Establish the psychic link within yourself of spiritual awareness, inner peace, and positive transformation.
