A humble merchant in Trebizond, John was known for his honesty and generosity. Envious of his success, a wicked man falsely accused him of treason. Despite being promised riches if he renounced his faith, John refused. He was tortured mercilessly, his body dragged through the streets. Even in death, his unwavering faith shone brightly. His relics performed countless miracles, offering healing and comfort to those in need.

Holy #JohnTheNew, pray that we may have the strength to stand firm in our #Faith, even in the face of adversity. May we be inspired by your courage and unwavering devotion to #God.
