This phrase is originated from an ancient story: During a banquet celebrating the birthday of Herod, who ruled Galilee in Jesus's time, his daughter Herodias takes the stage and dances for his guests. Everyone is so impressed that Herod offers to reward her with whatever her heart desires. The girl privately consults with her mother, who advises her to ask for the head of John the Baptist. Literally—she wants his head. Mom has a score to settle: it was John who argued that her marriage to Herod was a breach of the Jewish law because Herod was her brother-in-law.
Herodias follows her mother's suggestion and requests John's head, but she adds a gruesome and inventive twist of her own. While her mother simply asked for "the head of John the Baptist," Herodias demands "the head of John the Baptist on a platter." Because he liked to listen to John, Herod doesn't want to do it, but unwilling to renege in front of his guests, he orders the executioner to carry out the girl's wishes.
