John the New of Suceava, a 14th-century merchant from Trebizond, was arrested in Belgorod for refusing to renounce Christ. Tortured for days, he remained steadfast, witnessing to his faith. The enraged governor ordered John's execution; he was tied to a tree and beheaded. His relics, renowned for miracles, were later transferred to Suceava, becoming a source of comfort and inspiration.

Holy Martyr John, pray to God for us, and intercede for our needs!
