Oil Dedicated to St John the Baptist (Patron for Spasms) – Christmas Oil

St. John the Baptist was a prophet and the forerunner of Jesus Christ. Born to Zechariah and Elizabeth, his birth was miraculous as his parents were elderly and childless. John lived a simple, ascetic life in the wilderness, preaching repentance and baptizing people in the River Jordan to prepare them for the coming of the Messiah.

He is most famous for baptizing Jesus, during which the heavens opened, and God declared Jesus as His beloved Son. John courageously spoke out against injustice and sin, which eventually led to his martyrdom. He was beheaded at the order of King Herod due to his criticism of Herod’s unlawful marriage.

St. John the Baptist is invoked as the patron saint for those suffering from spasms, seizures, and related neurological conditions. While the exact origin of this patronage is unclear, it may be connected to the intensity and passion of his preaching, symbolizing the need for calm and control.

People pray to St. John the Baptist for relief from physical spasms or seizures, asking for his intercession to bring peace and healing to their bodies. His life of dedication, courage, and unwavering faith inspires those who seek his help to trust in God’s power to heal and restore.
