In the heart of Wallachia, a merchant named John lived piously. He was seized by Tatars during an invasion, who demanded he renounce his faith. Steadfast, John refused, enduring torture without yielding. Enraged, the Tatars beheaded him. Christians later recovered his body, finding it incorrupt and fragrant. His relics, a testament to unwavering faith, now reside at Prislop Monastery, drawing pilgrims seeking solace and healing.

Holy John, intercede for us! May your example strengthen our resolve in faith.
