"God's wrath fell upon those who had dared to destroy the prophet. Salome was crossing the Sikoris River in winter and fell through the ice. Her body was hanging in the water, but her head was above the ice. Just as she had once danced with her feet on the ground, now, as if dancing, she made helpless movements in the icy water. So she hung until the sharp ice cut her neck. Her head, cut off by a sharp ice floe, was brought to Herod and Herodias, just as they had once brought them the head of John the Baptist, but her body was never found. The Arabian king Arethas, in revenge for the dishonor of his daughter - the wife of Herod the tetrarch - moved his troops against the wicked king and defeated him. The Roman emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Caligula (37-41) in anger exiled Herod and Herodias were exiled to Gaul, and then to Spain. There they were swallowed up by the earth that opened up." Today we celebrate the day of the Beheading of John the Baptist... We are accustomed to understanding the word "celebrate" as joy, but it also means "to remain idle", and one can remain idle because joy overwhelms the soul and there is no longer any business for ordinary affairs, or this may happen because one's hands have dropped from grief or from horror. And this is today's holiday: what will you undertake in the face of what we heard about today in the Gospel?"
