Question

How did the SAINT JOHN died?

Answer 1

Salome the daughter of the king Herod had pleased the king with her dancing at his birthday feast, he promised that she could have from him whatever she liked "even the half kingdom." Instigated by her mother, she demanded the head of John the Baptist on a dish. Without the trial of any kind, Herod dispatched an executioner to John's prison and had his head presented to Salome who passed it on to her mother. This is how St. John the Baptist died.
