Venerable John lived in the 15th century. A wealthy merchant, he was slain by Tatars for his faith. Before death, he was tortured. Refusing to renounce Christ, he was beheaded. His body was later found incorrupt, emitting a sweet fragrance. Many miracles have been attributed to his relics, especially healings.

Holy #JohnTheNew, pray to God for us! May his example inspire us to unwavering #Faith. Let us ask him to intercede in our lives, for strength, #Virtue, and healing. May we honor his memory through #Prayer and good works. #PrislopMonastery
