Catholic AnswerThe Nativity of St. John the Baptist is one of only three births celebrated in the Catholic calendar: that of Our Blessed Lord, Our Blessed Lady, and St. John. Originally a very popular religious holiday, the head of the St. John Baptist Society in Canada, inspired by a St. Patrick's celebration by the Irish, thought to use this feast as a way to unite all Canadians.
