Today is the feast of St. John the Apostle. This feast has a Simple Octave which is Jan 3.
While he was not a martyr in deed, he was in intention. The feast of St. John before the Latin Gate on May 6 celebrates when he was boiled in oil, but did not die.
The feast of St. John before the Latin Gate was dropped from the 1962 Missal. What a tragedy!
There is a special blessing of wine today on St. John's feast.
St. John, pray for us!
