The Death of John the Baptist, 29 August.
John the Baptist offended King Herod with his blunt accusation.
But the most of venom came from Herod's wife (whom the king had stolen from his brother Philip).
Herod had mixed feeelings abut John. He liked to lisen to the prophet and had a respectful fear of him and his stern message.
After falling into a trap set by his wife and stepdaughter, however, he succumbed to peer pressure and ordered John's execution (Matthew 14)
