The '''''juane''''' is one of the main dishes of the [cuisine](/source/Peruvian_cuisine) of the [Peruvian jungle](/source/Peruvian_Amazon) and is widely consumed on June 24, the [feast of St. John the Baptist](/source/feast_of_St._John_the_Baptist) ([San Juan](/source/John_the_Baptist)), hence the name.<ref name='Dicc1'>{{cite book| last = Zapata Acha| first = Sergio| publisher = Universidad San Martín de Porres| title = Diccionario de gastronomía peruana tradicional| edition = 1|date=November 2006| location = Lima, Perú| isbn = 9972-54-155-X}}</ref>
It is known that after the arrival of the Spanish people to Incan lands, missionaries popularized the biblical account of the [beheading of St. John](/source/beheading_of_St._John).
