The Death Of John The Baptist 4

The Rev Ivan Foster continues to look at the circumstances around John the Baptists death. We see that Herod called a feast for his own Birthday inviting his friends and entertainment. During the party a young girl dances for Herod and in his drunken state he promises her up to half his kingdom. After consulting with her mother she asks for the head of John.
