John the Baptist
1st-century Jewish preacher and later Christian saint
Would John the Baptist be invited to a hypothetical cephalophore reunion in heaven?
John the Baptist was a preacher that became a Catholic Saint. John the Baptist was beheaded by king Herod. A cephalophore is a Saint martyred by beheading, and is depicted in art as carrying their own head. Saint Denis was one of several beheaded saints that is said to have carried his own head and is depicted as such in art. John the Baptist did not carry his head, since it was on a plate owned by King Herod's stepdaughter.
What does one carry for one to be considered a cephalophore? Did John the Baptist carry #1?
