Martyr John, a merchant renowned for his honesty and piety, faced the wrath of a greedy Tartar official in Cetatea Alba. Refusing to renounce his #Christian #Faith for worldly gain, he endured horrific tortures. Beaten mercilessly, dragged behind a horse, and ultimately beheaded, John remained steadfast in his devotion to #JesusChrist. His unwavering commitment to #GodIsGood became a beacon of strength for believers.

Holy Martyr John, pray to God for us, that we too may find the courage to stand firm in our beliefs! #saints #OrthodoxChristian
