因为圣前驱者约安一生最重要的任务成全于基督受浸之日，所以教会自古至今，指定基督受浸节的次日纪念为基督授浸礼者前驱圣约安。这个节日也和圣先知前驱约安的圣手遗髑有关。著福音者圣路喀希望从塞瓦斯特（约安被伊若德王斩首的地方）将这位伟大的先知的圣髑迁移到其故乡安提约希亚。但是他只获得了圣约安的一只手，并成功地运达目的地。此一珍贵的圣髑被供奉安提约希亚城直到10世纪，此后被运到了帝都君士坦丁堡，在土耳其人统治时期遗失。施浸者约安的瞻礼每年都要举行好几次，但是主显月七日这一天是最隆重的。施浸者圣约安在福音书中所载围绕在救主周围的人物中拥有独特的位份，因为他依照预言和授记而诞生，以清廉纯美的方式生活于世，宣讲补赎之道，授予悔改之浸，为救世主麦西亚施行浸礼，最后为义仗言，以致殉难。他具有纯洁无暇的德行，为此，他可以被称为天使而非凡人，正如圣经中称呼其为居世负形之天使。施浸者圣约安与其他先知不同，他拥有亲手向世界指明那被预言者的殊荣。据说，当初每年的这个庆节，帝都牧首都会向世人展示圣前驱之手的圣髑，有时手是张开的，有时是紧握的——前者表示来年五谷丰登；后者表示来年将会遇上饥荒。
