On May 12, we remember #Saint John the Valachian, a Romanian soldier taken captive by the Tatars. Refusing to convert to Islam and defend their faith, he was tortured and beheaded in 1662 in Crimea. His steadfast faith is a testament to the power of conviction.

Holy Martyr John, pray to #God for us!
