On May 12, we honor #Saint John the Valah, a Romanian youth martyred in Constantinople in 1662. Refusing to convert to Islam, he stood firm in his #Christian #Faith. His steadfastness and sacrifice inspire us to remain true to Christ, no matter the cost. Holy Martyr John, intercede for us, that we may have the strength to witness to our belief and live according to God's will. #Prayer #OrthodoxChristian
