A detour is worth it as Mr. Bakchich (puppet - Moroccan water seller) is sitting here looking for a ride on a bicycle. Mr. Bakchich comes from Marrakech and wants to cycle around the world. Unfortunately, I accidentally left him here. Please help him and get in touch with https://www.instagram.com/yasminaahlmaris/ she is so sad about it and we would find it a shame to lose contact with Mr. Bakchich like this. Unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to go back. Please help him!

With the patronage of "John the Baptist," this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: 'In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!'" (Lutheran Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself would give birth to Jesus Christ, and her—until then childless—relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of San Juan Bautista in the calendar of saints is June 24.

Saint John the Baptist (San JUAN BAUTISTA), to whom the cathedral (bishop's church) in Albacete is dedicated, is - like Saint Joseph - a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zacharias and Elizabeth, and after the announcement of the incarnation of God through them, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in her old age, namely John the Baptist. He is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner/pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches repentance from sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, and is filled with the Holy Spirit who descends upon him from heaven. The memorial day of San JUAN BAUTISTA in the calendar of saints is June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.
