In Wallachia, John, a humble servant, refused to convert to Islam despite brutal torture by the Ottomans. They tried to force him to deny #Christ, but he stood firm in his #faith. Enraged, the Turks beheaded him in 1662 for his unwavering belief. His martyrdom became a beacon of resistance against religious oppression.

Holy Martyr John, pray to God for us and give us the strength to defend our faith!
