John, a merchant from Trebizond, was imprisoned in 1330 in Belgorod, a Tartar city. Refusing to renounce Christ, he was brutally tortured and then dragged through the streets, tied to a horse's tail. His body was finally beheaded. Christians recovered his remains, which were later translated to Suceava, where they became known for miraculous healings.

Saint John, pray for us and intercede for the healing of the world!
