A wealthy merchant of Trau, he was unjustly killed for his wealth. Before dying he asked God to forgive his killers. His body, miraculously preserved, was moved to various places before finding its final resting place at Prislop Monastery.

Let us pray to #Saint John, that his intercessions before God may bring peace and forgiveness to our world, and guide us on the path of righteousness. Glory to God! #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #HolySaints #Prislop
