The Beheading of John the Baptist | Henry Karlson

The Beheading of John the Baptist | Henry Karlson: The beheading of the glorious Forerunner/ was a divine dispensation/ that the coming of the Savior might be preached to those in hell./ Lament then, Herodias,/ that thou didst demand a murder/ despising the law of God and eternal life. (Kontakion for the Beheading of St John the Baptist)
