The Conception of John the Baptist and Saints Xanthippi and Polyxeni
Today we remember the conception of the Honorable Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptist John. His parents, Saints Zachariah and Elizabeth, were righteous and faithful but childless until God answered their prayers in a miraculous way. We also honor Saints Xanthippi and Polyxeni, two sisters from Spain who embraced Christianity early on. Their faith and witness helped bring many to Christ, and Saint Polyxeni endured great trials while spreading the Gospel.
