In the bustling port of #Belgrade, John, a merchant known for his honest dealings and devout #faith, faced a cruel test. Refusing to renounce Christ for Islam, he endured imprisonment, torture, and flogging. His unwavering spirit angered the city's governor, who ordered him to be dragged by a horse through the streets. Even in death, as his body was tied to the horse's feet, a divine light shielded him. Seeing this miracle, many were moved, recognizing the power of his belief.

O Holy Martyr John, intercede with Christ God for our salvation! #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Prayer #Saints
