On the Black Sea shores, John, a merchant of faith, stood firm. Refusing to renounce Christ for worldly gain, he endured savage beatings. Dragged behind a horse until his body was torn, he was finally beheaded. Even in death, his face shone with divine light, and his relics brought healing.

Holy Martyr John, intercede for us that we may stand firm in our faith!
