John the Baptist's head was given to Herod's step-daughter Salome on a plate; this story is told in Matthew 14:1-12, Mark 6:14-29.
After that, it less likely to say for certain; it's said to have been buried at Herod's palace in Jerusalem and found during Constantine I's reign, among other possibilities.
Going further from there, many other places claim to have the head or have claimed to have it, as well as other parts of his body and or clothing, etc.

What did they do with John the Baptist's head after they put it on the platter?
AnswerIn the gospels, the daughter of Herodias is said to have asked for the head of John the Baptist on a platter, during a feast for the chielf men of Galilee. However the Jewish historian Josephus says that John was simply executed for objecting to the marriage of Herod Antipas to his brother's former wife, Herodias, and that the execution took place in Macherus, a castle quite remote from where the feast would have been held. If we accept Josephus' account, John the Baptist never had his head on a platter.The answer to this question depends on whether we accept the gospel account or that of Josephus. If the former, then we do not know what happened to John's head. If the latter, then we can say that John's head was not placed on a platter, and nothing unusual happened to it.
