Beheading of captives is making news in Iraq these days. One of the earliest recorded beheading was that of St. John the Baptist,first cousin of Jesus, by the Jewish King of Judea. John was beheaded on the instructions of King Herod as a boon to his daughter, Salome, who was instigated by her mother Heroditus to ask for his head on a platter. This afternoon you can jump in the well to commemorate the 'baptism by immersion' practiced by John the Baptist [ and presently the USP of the Southern Baptist Church of USA] and eat the ponos ,ambe, chone and drink the local 'fire-water' or cashew feni in your own village or at the in-law's place. For the joy of Sao Joao, you can see the boat parade on the creek of the chapora river near the Marna-Siolim church. Wear a 'kopel' for the ocassion. The boats come in at high tide [around 4 P.M.] Viva Sao Joao! Viva Goa. Miguel
